SOCRadar launches wp2shell exposure checker 

SOCRadar has launched a free wp2shell checker to help organizations quickly determine whether their WordPress websites may be exposed to CVE-2026-63030, a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting recent WordPress versions.

The tool allows users to enter a domain and assess potential exposure without manually reviewing WordPress versions or configurations—particularly useful for organizations managing large numbers of public-facing, subsidiary, staging or forgotten websites.

The checker is designed to help security teams:

  • Quickly identify potentially exposed WordPress assets
  • Verify whether automatic WordPress updates were successfully applied
  • Prioritize vulnerable or overlooked sites for remediation
  • Reduce the risk posed by unknown WordPress installations across the external attack surface

SOCRadar has also published a supporting technical analysis explaining how the wp2shell vulnerability chain can lead to unauthenticated remote code execution, which WordPress versions are affected and what defenders should look for in their logs.
