Perfect
Exactly what I was looking for ! On the roadmap, it would be nice if : we can chose if we want to receive an email OR not (I may use it as a vuln reminder on the dashboard, as I have other plugins already keeping me informed) we can chose what will be in the email - php or not for exemple (it seems that it is planned, thanks) only receive an email if one the vuln is considered high risk etc.
