Developers running your plugins through AI should be a basic requirement

2 October 2026 at 15:21

I'm not a developer by any means and don't know how to code. I do however use Claude mainly for designing pages in the block editor, and for troubleshooting WP issues. Before updating plugins/themes I also the entire plugin stack and theme the site in question is using through Claude to check for any compatibility issues before updating. What I've also been doing is running them through Claude to find security vulnerabilities and with just the basic Pro plan, the number of vulnerabilities I have found in commercial plugins is unfortunate. Especially when my prompt is as simple as just asking Claude to find any security vulnerabilities. I'm sure someone educated in security could prompt it to find even more. Anyway, I think it should be a requirement for dev's to run their code through an AI agent to find these vulnerabilities before production sites install them. Luckily the vulnerabilities I have reported have all been addressed, but these things really should be addressed before its released.
