Our Commitment to Security
We don't just build plugins - we build secure plugins. Every line of code is analyzed for potential vulnerabilities before it reaches your WordPress site. Our goal is catching security issues during development, not after they're exploited.
Multi-Engine Analysis
We don't rely on a single tool. Our security scanner combines multiple analysis engines to provide comprehensive coverage:
Static Code Analysis
- Pattern-based detection for common WordPress vulnerabilities
- Over 20 security rules covering OWASP Top 10
- SQL injection, XSS, command execution checks
WordPress-Specific Checks
- PHP_CodeSniffer with WordPress Security standards
- Nonce verification validation
- Proper escaping context analysis
Best Practice Enforcement
- Input sanitization requirements
- Output escaping standards
- Direct file access protection
What We Scan For
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Injection | SQL injection, command injection, code injection |
| Cross-Site Scripting | Unescaped output, improper encoding |
| Access Control | Direct file access, missing capability checks |
| Input Validation | Unsanitized user input, missing nonce verification |
| Sensitive Data | Hardcoded credentials, exposed secrets |
| Security Misconfiguration | Debug mode exposure, error disclosure |
Release Requirements
A plugin cannot be released until it passes our security scan:
- Zero Critical Issues - Must have no critical vulnerabilities
- Zero High Issues - Must have no high-severity security risks
- Human Review - All findings are manually reviewed for false positives
Continuous Improvement
Our security scanner is continuously updated to catch new vulnerability patterns. We monitor WordPress security advisories, CVE databases, and emerging attack vectors to keep our detection rules current.
Transparency
Each plugin displays a security badge linking to its scan details. We believe customers deserve to know their plugins have been security tested. Click any green "security | passed" badge on our site to see the scan summary for that plugin.
