Useful directory, but Wordfence and Sucuri already scan your site for these vulnerabilities.

Strengths
  • •Specific focus on abandoned plugins with known vulnerabilities and active installs.
  • •Auto-refreshes monthly with data from WordPress.org and Wordfence sources.
Weaknesses
  • •Curated list without novel technique—just filtering existing public data.
  • •No remediation tooling; tells you the problem but doesn't help fix it.

CLI Rust tool gitorg helps manage GitHub orgs

Gives you org-level operations that you'd otherwise script: auth, list orgs, repo sorting (stars/activity/staleness), stale-repo finder, cross-org issues and a dashboard — with JSON output for easy automation. Nothing revolutionary here, but the focused command set, XDG-config support and explicit token scopes make it a practical, scriptable tool for keeping repo hygiene under control.
