“The headline vulnerabilities make the news; the quiet reality is that most of Slovakia's WordPress web runs a component with a long-known, unpatched flaw — usually a premium plugin bundled into a theme that no one ever updates,”
— said Attila Rácz-Akácosi, founder of Piperic.

Methodology

Sample: measured Slovakia 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.
