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

Code:

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.

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.

Code:

#!/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	echo "Your Install is out of date, you are running $YOURS, and the current version is $CURRENT";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
