Wordfence Bug Bounty Program Monthly Report – July 2026
The Wordfence Bug Bounty Program received 1,077 vulnerability submissions in July 2026, with 243 deemed in-scope and processed by the threat intelligence team. Researchers earned $51,183 in total bounties, with file upload and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities commanding the highest rewards. The program published 15 web application firewall (WAF) rules and highlighted three critical WordPress vulnerabilities, including wp2shell, an unauthenticated remote code execution chain affecting Core versions 6.9 through 7.0.1.
Why it matters: WordPress site owners and administrators must update affected Core versions (6.8.6, 6.9.5, and 7.0.2) immediately and keep Wordfence active for real-time protection; security researchers can reference the top vulnerability classes and bounty structures to prioritize future submissions for maximum impact and reward.
