About the WordPress Security Scans

The basic security check will review a WordPress installation for common security-related misconfigurations. Testing with the basic check option uses regular web requests. The system downloads a handful of pages from the target site, then performs analysis on the resulting HTML source.

The more aggressive enumeration option attempts to find all plugins/themes used on the WordPress installation and attempt to enumerate users of the site. These tests will generate HTTP 404 errors in the web server logs of the target site. Be warned If you test all plugins, this will generate more than 18000 log entries and potentially trigger intrusion prevention measures.

In identifying all the plugins, themes, and users of the site, you start to understand the attack surface. With this information, you can target further testing against the discovered resources.
