CMS Hardening & Vulnerability Assessment

SECURE YOUR CMS. ELIMINATE EXPOSURE.

In-depth WordPress security audits, plugin and theme code reviews, and hardening guidance to protect digital presence.

ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE

Architectural Overview

WordPress powers a substantial portion of the web, making it a frequent target for automated exploitation and supply chain vulnerabilities. We conduct comprehensive security audits of WordPress installations, custom themes, and third-party plugins to identify weaknesses and provide hardening guidance.

Manual Code & Threat InspectionZero False-Positive GuaranteeActionable Git Remediation Diffs
CRITICAL VULNERABILITIES & FAILURE MODES

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE.

We target the high-impact blindspots that standard compliance scanners and hurried development teams overlook.

Vulnerable Plugins & Themes

Unpatched extensions containing SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), or file upload bypasses.

Brute-Force & Credential Stuffing

Automated bot attacks targeting /wp-login.php and XML-RPC interfaces.

Insecure Server Permissions

Permissive file permissions allowing web server processes to overwrite core application files.
