WP Blog Network Admins - Quickly Find Old WP Installs

[PornDiscounts-V]

Here is a quick way to find your old WP installs that might be open to cyber attacks.

grep 'wp_version =' */wp-includes/version.php|grep -v '3.5.1'

Each time the version changes just put the correct one in the end of the command line code.

Also, you might have to add something to the */wp-includes like */htdocs/wp-includes or */public_html/wp-includes to make up for how your server is handling where your installations are compared to your user directory.

wp-cli is good for this

you are always assuming 3.5.1 is the latest, which will be needed to changed when updates come out.

you can do something like this.

#!/bin/bash

YOURS=$(grep 'wp_version[[:space:]]*=' wp-includes/version.php  | head -1 | cut -d\' -f2)
CURRENT=$(curl -s http://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/ | awk -F '">' '{print $2}' | awk -F"/<" '{print $1}' | grep "^[0-9].[0-9]" | sort -n | tail -n 1)

if [[ "$YOURS" != "$CURRENT" ]]; then
	echo "Your Install is out of date, you are running $YOURS, and the current version is $CURRENT";
else
	echo "Your install is current at version $YOURS"
fi
