Most common vulnerabilities arise from plugins

There are mainly two types of vulnerabilities that usually arise from the installed plugins. These are SQL injection and Cross-site scripting.

WordPress website uses a MySQL database to save the data. “SQL injections” is a type of attack that occurs when the hackers gain access to your database.

The attackers may be able to create a new admin-level user account which can then be used to login and get full access to your WordPress website. SQL injections can also be used to insert new data into your database, including links to malicious or spam websites.

Sometimes the hackers insert the link of their ads on your database or even change the re-direction. That means when your visitors clicked the link of your website from the search engine, they will be re-directed to a new landing page of different domains.
