WordPress Adds Automated Plugin Reviews to Block High-Risk Updates Before Distribution

WordPress will automatically scan every plugin release and block high-risk updates from distribution using AI analysis plus Jetpack Scan.

Flagged patterns include missing capability checks, unsafe $wpdb queries, unserialize() on request data, and obfuscated code.
