Check if the plugins you are using are prone to vulnerabilities or not#65

It would be awesome if you could check somehow if the plugins you are using are prone to vulnerabilities or not.

Perhaps Shield could add the number of vulnerabilities that occurred to each plugin in the past somewhere in the plugin overview with a direct link to wpvulndb.com or something?

Kind of like a way to see which plugins have good developers and haven’t been compromised that often (could be a way to decide between two similar plugins)

Additional Info

Q: How/when in your workflow you’d like to see this sort of information?

A: It’s not so much something I would use in a specific workflow, more like when I’m updating plugins or installing new ones (or testing out plugins when I’m developing a new site), that the info would show up in the plugin overview and perhaps show it highlighted in red when a certain plugin has had a lot of vulnerabilities in the past so I would notice that and I could decide to keep using it or look for a good replacement.
