A basic example of scanning the /var/www/wordpress directory for vulnerabilities.
wordfence vuln-scan /var/www/wordpress
A basic example of scanning the /var/www/wordpress directory for vulnerabilities and writing the results to /home/username/wordfence-cli-vuln-scan.csv.
wordfence vuln-scan --output-format csv --output-path /home/username/wordfence-cli-vuln-scan.csv /var/www/wordpress
Run Wordfence CLI in a cron job daily to scan /var/www/wordpress and write the results to /home/username/wordfence-cli-vuln-scan.csv as the username user. This would be similar to how a scheduled scan works within the Wordfence plugin.
0 0 * * * username /usr/bin/flock -w 0 /tmp/wordfence-cli-vuln-scan.lock /usr/local/bin/wordfence vuln-scan --output-format csv --output-path /home/username/wordfence-cli-vuln-scan.csv /var/www/wordpress 2>&1 /var/log/wordfence/vuln-scan.log; /usr/bin/rm /tmp/wordfence-cli-vuln-scan.lock
The cronjob uses a lock file at /tmp/wordfence-cli-vuln-scan.lock to prevent duplicate vulnerability scans from running at the same time. Any output and errors are logged to /var/log/wordfence/vuln-scan.log. Please update the paths from this example based on the system this is intended to run on.
