Plugin Security Checker

This tool currently includes checks for the possibility of some instances of the following security issues in WordPress plugins:

  • PHP object injection
  • Remote code execution (RCE)
  • Arbitrary file upload, writing, and deletion
  • Arbitrary WordPress option (setting) addition, deletion, and updating
  • Local file inclusion (LFI)
  • Arbitrary file viewing
  • Arbitrary user meta addition, deletion, and updating
  • SQL injection
  • Unsafe usage of extract()
  • Server-side request forgery (SSRF)
  • Usage of third-party libraries with known vulnerabilities
  • Open redirect
  • Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • Base64 obfuscation
  • Incorrect usage of non-privileged AJAX registration

The results of the tool have led to identifying and getting fixed some serious vulnerabilities, less serious vulnerabilities in very popular plugins also being identified and fixed, as well as identifying plugins that are in need of general security improvement. That being said, the tool (or any similar tool) is incapable of determining if a plugin is secure or not. Information on what can and can't determine if a plugin is secure can be found here.
