WordPress Adds Automated Plugin Reviews to Block High-Risk Updates Before Distribution

WordPress has announced it's launching an automated security review for every release of a plugin before it's distributed through the WordPress.org update API so as to analyze it for potential security issues and ensure there are no risks involved.

"New plugins are reviewed before they enter the directory, but updates ship continuously after that," David Perez, WordPress Official Plugin
