Hi! There is no unpatched vulnerabilities in the WP Cerber. Please ask the Wordfence team for detailed clarifications regarding that unverified claim.
Any update on this?
Currently WP Cerber has been dropped from the WordPress Plugins listings, what’s the story guys?

Hi Gregory,
I guess that’s one for you to take up with WordFence, as currently users that employ both plugins are receiving the following flag from WordFence (Note: It doesn’t actually remove your plugin either)…

I would prefer that some “security experts” (not WordFence) do their jobs more responsibly. I saw a report regarding a WP Cerber bug that is claimed as a vulnerability but it’s not a vulnerability per se. It’s a built-in WordPress feature. I really appreciate and thankful to people reporting bugs and other issues, but this time it’s not what it’s claimed. WP Cerber users, as always, can sleep calmly.
P.S. The reported bug has been fixed in WP Cerber 9.1.
@greensitedesign
@gioni Any updates on this? When can we expect for plugin to become available from the WordPress repo?
Thanks

@beeroslav Please enable “Send notification when a new version of WP Cerber is available” on the “Notifications” tab.
@gioni do you have the CVE number? Why would it be taken down?
The last one I could find is from March 2022

do you have the CVE number?
I do not.
Why would it be taken down?
A new, internal plugin inspection guideline for moderators has recently been enforced. Some plugins require to be refactored due to new limitations and policies.
@kubitomakita
@gioni Thank you for providing some clarification. However, one does question why WP CERBER was not prepared for the new guideline? We’re you aware of this guideline?
Gracias @gioni por estar contestando las preguntas y generar tranquilidad. Un saludo
