How to view security warnings
From our control panel, you can directly access the "Security Alerts" section to monitor detected vulnerabilities in your hostings. This section provides you with a detailed overview of the most recent vulnerabilities affecting your WordPress websites.
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) represent a reference point for identifying security vulnerabilities. Each vulnerability or exposure is assigned a unique identifier (CVE-ID), making it easier to manage security issues and compare different security tools that address the same problems.
Once you access the cdmon control panel, you will find a button labeled "Security Alerts" in the top bar.
In this section, a summary of the alerts detected in your hostings will be displayed. Vulnerabilities are shown using different colors depending on their level of criticality, making it easier to quickly identify the most serious issues.
This summary contains security-related information for your WordPress website and will help you take the necessary steps to protect it.
- Domain: Indicates the domain/hosting name affected by the vulnerability.
- Path: Shows the specific location within your domain where the vulnerability was detected. This can be useful for identifying affected plugins or themes.
- CVE: This is the unique identifier assigned to the known vulnerability. You can click the link shown in the panel or use this code to search for more details online.
- Score: Represents the severity of the vulnerability on a scale from 1 to 10. A higher score indicates greater urgency to take corrective action.
- Risk: This field classifies the risk level of the vulnerability as Low, Medium, or High, helping you prioritize the actions to take.
- Description: Provides a predefined summary of the vulnerability to help you understand the issue.
- Current version: Shows the version of the plugin, theme, or WordPress core you are using that contains the vulnerability.
- Fixed version: Indicates the version in which the vulnerability has been fixed. You should update to this version or a later one to mitigate the risk.
IMPORTANT: Please note that even if changes have been made and the alerts have been resolved, they will not be shown as fixed in our control panel until the next analysis is performed.
Additionally, from this window, you have the option to download the vulnerability report in CSV format. Click the "Download CSV" button located in the upper-right corner of the alerts summary to obtain the CSV file containing an overview of all detected vulnerabilities:
