The WordPress ecosystem is experiencing a code red moment as AI lowers the barrier for criminals to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. WordPress is responding with a new security initiative that seeks to scale how it handles security to keep up with the increased number of vulnerability reports made possible by AI<\/p>\n
The new security initiative, called the The WordPress Core Security Initiative, is meant to improve the security of the WordPress core itself, the software that powers WordPress installations around the world.
\nThe initiative is run by the WordPress core security team and will be powered by contributions from longtime WordPress core contributors, sponsored contributors, and additional team members and volunteers.<\/p>\n
