Millions At Risk From Critical Vulnerabilities From WordPress Plugins

First time accepted submitter dougkfresh writes "Checkmarx's research lab identified that more than 20% of the 50 most popular WordPress plugins are vulnerable to common Web attacks, such as SQL Injection. Furthermore, a concentrated research into e-commerce plugins revealed that 7 out of the 10 most popular e-commerce plugins contain vulnerabilities. This is the first time that such a comprehensive survey was prepared to test the state of security of the leading plugins." It does seem that Wordpress continues to be a particularly perilous piece of software to run. When popularity and unsafe languages collide.

I personally only use HTML9 Responsive Boilerstrap JS. If you're using any other framework then you're just wasting your time.

Here's a link for you poor slobs that haven't jumped on the bandwagon.
