Of 2,431 Sweden WordPress sites where we could read a component version, 1,216 (50.0%) run at least one plugin or theme in a version with a publicly known vulnerability. This measures patch hygiene — not that a site is exploitable.

Sample: measured Sweden WordPress sites (ccTLD-based assignment) where at least one plugin/theme version was readable from the homepage. Plugin/theme versions are cross-referenced against the Wordfence Intelligence vulnerability database (CVE-anchored). This measures update hygiene — running a version for which a vulnerability was disclosed — not exploitability. Homepage-only detection sees front-end components, not back-end plugins. All figures are aggregate; no individual site is identified. Snapshot 2026-07-25 (frozen). Vulnerability data © Wordfence Intelligence, MITRE where applicable.
