 * I don’t know how you collect vulnerabilities, but what you think about moving
   them from separate PHP files to single JSON file on git?
 * Then you even can provide to users update of signature file w/o updating plugin.
 * Cheers and keep it going!

 * The vulnerability data makes up most of the plugin’s file size. It is currently
   about 70 percent of the size and the percentage should increase as more vulnerabilities
   are added. So at this point there doesn’t seem to be much advantage to creating
   a separate update mechanism just for the vulnerability data instead of updating
   it along with the rest of the plugin through the normal WordPress update mechanism.
 * If you are interested in handling updates through Git, there is a Git based mirror
   of the Plugin Directory at [https://github.com/wp-plugins](https://github.com/wp-plugins).
