Some of the issues regarding vulnerability in WordPress security include:
Outdated software: WordPress updates its software regularly to fix any security issues. Failure to update the software can leave a site vulnerable to hackers.
Weak passwords: Weak passwords can make it easy for hackers to gain access to WordPress accounts.
Outdated plugins and themes: Outdated plugins and themes can have security vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit to gain access to a site.
Malware and viruses: Malware and viruses can infect a site and compromise the site's security.
Brute force attacks: Brute force attacks involve a hacker trying to guess a user's password by trying multiple combinations until they figure out the correct one.
Lack of HTTPS: Websites without HTTPS encryption are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, where hackers can intercept data being sent to and from the website.
