Add WPScan or Wordfence as analyzer or mirror #4598

Description

Current Behavior

Currently Wordpress vulnerabilities are not covered completely by Dependency Tracks sources. If they have a CVE, the probably are detected.
But many plugins have vulnerabilities without a CVE (or GHSA, OSV, SNYK, .... ID).

Proposed Behavior

Popular sources for Wordpress vullnerabilities are

The problem with WPScan is that they do not allow any mirroring and do not allow even storing vulnerabilities. Unless you have a commercial enterprise license.

Wordfence seems to have almost the same (20k) vulnerabilities, but is completely free to use including mirroring.

There are some questions to be answered:

  • Vulnerabilities (WPScan + Wordfence) have a uuid as ID. This doesn't really look/fit very well in the DT UI;
  • Similar to my question in Composer Repository Vulnerability Mirroring #4515 (comment) is whether we should replicate all vulnerabilities as those which have a CVE are just copies of the vulnerability from NVD.
