Splunk Search

how do I make a table out of common nested json keys with uncommon json key parents?

I have the following JSON event that I'm indexing in splunk:

{
    "plugins": {
        "Redirection": {
            "pluginstatus": "active",
            "wpvulndb": {

            },
            "version": "2.6.6",
            "pluginpath": "redirection/redirection.php"
        },
        "Yoast SEO Premium": {
            "pluginstatus": "active",
            "wpvulndb": {

                "vulnerabilities": [{
                    "vulnerablestatus": false,
                    "title": "WordPress SEO by Yoast <= 2.0.1 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)",
                    "created_at": "2015-04-20T17:38:38.000Z",
                    "updated_at": "2015-10-01T08:11:16.000Z",
                    "vuln_type": "XSS",
                    "published_date": "2015-04-20T00:00:00.000Z",
                    "fixed_in": "2.1",
                    "id": 7913
                }],
                "last_updated": null,
                "latest_version": null
            },
            "version": "3.0.7",
            "pluginpath": "wordpress-seo-premium/wp-seo-premium.php"
        }
    }
}

if you notice, each 'plugin' has its own 'vulnerablestatus' . How would I create a table that would display each plugin name (in this case, "Redirection" and "Yoast SEO Premium") and its "vulnerablestatus" if its "vulnerablestatus"=true ? Ideally I dont want to have to reference each plugin when building the table. i.e. |table plugins.*.vulnerabilities{}.vulnerablestatus, plugins.*.vulnerabilities{}.title

I would like each row to look like this:

pluginname | plugin vulnerability | vulnerabilitystatus
......................................................................................................
redirection   | "... HTTP Header XSS" | false 
redirection   | "... Parameter XSS"      | false 
Yoast SEO ... |" ... XSS"               | false

Thanks for the post. I have resolved the yoast plugin problem on this site ( https://seotraining.co ).

this looks like it does what I need, however I have one key that looks like it has a | in it which is making the rest puke. The sample above isn't the full payload i'd be searching against.. just 2 plugin samples.

I'm getting the error Failed to parse templatized search for field 'plugins.Shareaholic | share buttons analytics related content.wpvulndb.vulnerabilities{}.title'

@zhatsispgx, Can you paste that key which has a pipe character? |

Also can you try the following?

<YourBaseSearch>
|  eval _raw=replace(_raw,"|","")
