Auto-update when vulnerability has been detected

WP Umbrella already sends us alerts when vulnerabilities are discovered in a specific plugin or theme. It would be great if when this happens the plugin/theme is automatically updated.

This is now possible with our update automation feature.

Amazing idea, but only optional and to activate for specific plugins - not just automatically for every plugin/theme.

A full patch stack integration could help here. Patching the plugin rather than updating until an update is out.

Chris Key Looks like this is already coming as a paid add-on: https://wp-umbrella.canny.io/features-request/p/virtual-patching-add-on

This would need to be optional, there are plugins or themes that can't be updated (at least for a certain time); these obviously need specific risk mitigation strategies.
