Wordpress Security Overview

To secure a site built with Wordpress, we should first understand the building blocks of a Wordpress deployment. The standard components are:

  • Web server host - The physical or virtual machine(s) which host the Wordpress site. e.g. your Digital Ocean or AWS servers.
  • Web server software - Typically Apache Web Server or Nginx.
  • Web application code - The HTML and Javascript code served by your web server software and executed in the web browser.
  • Database - Typically MariaDB or MySQL.
  • Wordpress plugins - Plugins that add functionality to your Wordpress site
  • Admin panels - Administration software such as PhpMyAdmin

Wordpress Vulnerability Scanner

For complete security, you need to scan all of the components of your Wordpress deployment.

Full Port Scan

Run a full port scan on all of your web server hosts to find any misconfigured firewall rules, such as a database that is accidentally accessible to the public internet.

Network Vulnerability Scan

Run a network vulnerability scan on all of your web server hosts to find any outdated and insecure software, such as vulnerable versions of Apache Web Server or PhpMyAdmin. A high quality network vulnerability scan, such as OpenVAS, will also test for vulnerable Wordpress plugins.

Web Application Scanner

Run a web app scan to test your website code for misconfigured cookies, SQL injection vulnerabilities, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and more.

TLS Security Scan

Run a TLS scan to verify that your website certificate is valid and correctly set up for secure https traffic.
