WP Super Cache v0.6.2

Scan ID: SCAN-WP-SUPER-CACHE-nPbjar • Hash: 2e616742

Security Simulation Profile Active

E-ComGuard was unable to download the source files for WP Super Cache (v0.6.2) from WordPress.org or GitHub. This typically happens when the slug identifier is custom-branded, the repository tag does not exist, or the files are restricted.

To prevent blocking your queue pipeline, the hybrid scanner fell back to generating realistic vulnerability models based on typical security risks detected in equivalent components.
