wp-security-audit

A command that performs a broad security review of a WordPress project. WordPress is a PHP website platform, and the review checks common unsafe coding patterns in its files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect PHP files for unsafe data handling, missing permissions or verification, risky file operations, redirects, JSON responses, and hardcoded credentials.
Why use it?
It helps find security mistakes such as unescaped output, unsafe user input, missing request checks, weak database queries, and exposed secrets.

Getting it into your agent

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wp-security-audit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/wp-security-audit

Run a comprehensive security audit on the current WordPress project.

Instructions

Load the wordpress-security skill for security patterns and vulnerability identification.

Delegate the audit to the wp-security-auditor agent by using the Task tool with the following prompt:

"Perform a comprehensive WordPress security audit on the current project. Scan all PHP files and check for:

  1. Unescaped outputecho $var, <?= $var without esc_html/esc_attr/esc_url/wp_kses
  2. Unsanitized input — Direct $_GET/$_POST/$_REQUEST/$_SERVER without sanitize_*
  3. Missing nonces — Form/POST handling without wp_verify_nonce/check_admin_referer
  4. Raw SQL$wpdb->query()/$wpdb->get_*() without $wpdb->prepare()
  5. Missing capability checkswp_ajax_/admin_post_ handlers without current_user_can()
  6. Unsafe file operationsfile_get_contents($var)/include $var instead of WP_Filesystem
  7. Direct redirectsheader('Location:') instead of wp_safe_redirect()
  8. Direct JSONecho json_encode() instead of wp_send_json_success/error()
  9. Hardcoded credentials — API keys, passwords, secrets in source code
  10. Debug modeWP_DEBUG set to true in production configs
  11. Directory traversal — Path manipulation without realpath() validation
  12. REST API auth — Endpoints with __return_true as permission_callback

Output a structured report with:

  • Severity levels: CRITICAL, WARNING, INFO
  • File path and line number for each finding
  • Description of the issue
  • Suggested fix with code snippet
  • Summary statistics (total findings by severity)

Sort findings by severity (CRITICAL first)."

After the agent completes, present the results to the user in a clear, organized format.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
