Enhancement: Plugin and Theme list should alert if the version is HIGHER than found on .org

[Ipstenu]

This is a rare-bear problem, but sometimes hackers will bump the version of a hacked plugin so that their backdoor won't get triggered for update and thus delete itself. If the wp plugin list command alerted people to "This version is higher than expected..." that might help spot those faster.

Hmm, interesting. I guess such a warning should also be shown on plugin/theme update then, as it basically disables that update.

This would also be a good check for the doctor command...

Bumping the version number to something like 99.0-upstream1.2.3 is the easiest way I'm aware of to fork a plugin for a site without other side effects like breaking translations.

Is there a way to disable this warning in a site's code?

No, not yet, but it seems it might be needed... Would you mind opening a new issue for this, @nylen, with the use case you mentioned ?
