Viewing scan Findings

The Findings page in VMP Security Portal shows the latest scan results for a single connected site, mirroring what you would see on that site’s Scan page in the WordPress admin. It is reached by drilling into a specific site from the Portal Dashboard — there is no “all sites combined” findings view.

Opening the Findings page

From the Dashboard, click a site in the Your Websites table to open its detail view. The Findings tab is one of the per-site pages reached from there. The URL takes the form /portal/findings?uuid=<site-uuid>; visiting /portal/findings/ without a uuid redirects you back to the Dashboard.

The page header shows the site name with a quick link to the live site, the time of the last scan, and a Launch Scan button. Launching a scan from Portal queues the same scheduled-scan job that the WordPress plugin would run locally; progress streams back to Portal as the plugin reports it.

A breadcrumb above the header gives you a quick way back to the Portal Dashboard and a side link to open the WordPress plugin dashboard for the site directly.

The body of the page mirrors the plugin’s Scan page layout:

  • Scan-enabled banner — confirms the scan engine is running, alongside whether the site has the premium signature feed.
  • Scan Type ring — how complete the configured scan type is (Standard / Limited / High Sensitivity / Custom).
  • Malware Signatures ring — whether the site is using the community signature set or the premium feed.
  • Reputation Checks ring — reputation-related coverage if you have those checks enabled.

Each ring has a Manage Scan link that opens the relevant Configuration section for the same site, so you can adjust the scan settings without leaving Portal.

Findings list

Below the rings, the page lists the actual findings from the most recent scan grouped by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low). Each finding shows the severity badge, the file or check it relates to, and the recommended action. Use the tabs at the top of the results list to filter by severity or by status.

Findings that are actionable from inside Portal — for example, repairing a modified core file from the official repository, or updating a vulnerable plugin — have buttons that delegate the action to the plugin on the connected site. Findings that need manual judgement (custom code, suspicious posts) link out to the relevant page in the WordPress admin.
