Exploit Scanner runs through the WordPress filesystem and the database content looking for known suspicious patterns. Each run records the scan in wp_options under keys like exploit-scanner-results, with a list of file paths, the matched signature, and a severity level (severe, warning, minor). It also records hashes of WordPress core files so unexpected changes to wp-config.php or wp-includes show up. The default Tools screen renders the latest result as a long indented list, useful for inspecting a single hit but never trended across scans.

SleekView Charts indexes the Exploit Scanner output into queryable rows. A Number card carries today's severe count, a Pie groups by severity across severe, warning, and minor, a Bar ranks the most-flagged file paths, and an Area card tracks scan dates per week. Each card runs against the indexed scanner output, no extra storage required for the plugin itself.

The signature list flags a lot of plain WordPress patterns alongside genuine threats. The Bar card pinned to repeat offenders makes it easy to whitelist common false positives like base64 calls inside legitimate theme files, while the severe-only filter keeps the focus on the small number of hits that actually warrant a code review.

Exploit Scanner produces a lot of output. Every scan walks the file system and the post content, matching against a long list of suspicious patterns, and the result lands on the Tools screen as a flat indented list. Useful for a single review, but hard to read across multiple scans.

Aggregate questions, the ones that matter when triaging a stack of false positives or hunting a real intrusion, need charts. Where did the spike come from, when did it stop, which severity absorbed it, which files keep showing up. Those questions are about distribution and time, not a single row.

SleekView Charts gives the scanner output a real dashboard surface so security teams can answer those questions without exporting and without leaving WordPress. Exploit Scanner keeps matching; the dashboard makes the volume legible.
