Question

Why doesn't the WP-Toolkit Vulnerabilities email show any domain names?

Answer

The WP-Toolkit vulnerability notification email template is compiled into the extension's source code and cannot be modified through the Notifications section in Plesk.

In earlier versions, the email listed each vulnerability alongside the specific site it affected. The current behavior has changed: the notification now reports vulnerable components in general terms rather than tying them to a particular subscription or domain. This is intentional. A single vulnerable plugin or theme can be installed across multiple sites, so associating it with one domain would be misleading or incomplete.

To identify the exact site, click the "On a site" link within the email. This opens the WP-Toolkit security card filtered to the specific WordPress installation, so there is no ambiguity about which site is affected.

  • What's missing in this question is why did you change it two weeks ago? The old way with the site name was much more useful.

    I want to go directly to the website, not first to Plesk to find out which site it is. Really weird that you added an extra step to this?

  • Jose Flores Thanks I'll check it out, but if it's not intended to comment on this it would be better to remove that button and just have a link directly.

  • That change makes total sense! Grouping vulnerabilities by component rather than duplicating entries per domain keeps the report clean, and the "On a site" link provides a quick way to check specifics.  PayByPlateMass login

  • mary gantt Yes it groups them and that could be useful. Only if I click the link it just opens the first site on the server alphabetically not an actual site that has this vulnerability. 

    So now I have to search in 40+ sites, depending on the server, where in the old situation the name was there which takes away the searching aspect. I also have to check servers that I don't actively maintain anymore but where I was never removed as an admin.
