Security
Installing nulled or pirated plugins and themes introduces hidden malware or backdoors.
WPMissionControl Makes Security Simple.
Missing headers like CSP, X-Frame-Options or HSTS expose your site to advanced threats.
Visitors can see folder contents if no index file is present.
If misconfigured, wp-config.php may be exposed or browsable on certain servers.
WordPress and plugin version numbers are publicly visible, aiding attackers.
Old or unused admin accounts remain active and become targets for attackers.
Without regular backups, recovery from hacks or crashes becomes impossible.
Using default ‘wp_’ prefix makes SQL injection attacks easier for bots.
Improper file upload rules allow attackers to upload dangerous scripts.
Using ‘admin’ as your login makes brute-force attacks easier.
Malicious code is injected into files or database, redirecting users or displaying unwanted content.
Editors or contributors are given admin-level access or dangerous permissions.
The xmlrpc.php file is active and used for brute force or DDoS amplification attacks.
WP_DEBUG is set to true in production, revealing sensitive paths or warnings.
Without a security plugin, threats may go unnoticed or unmitigated.
Files and folders have overly permissive permissions (e.g. 777), allowing exploits.
Using an easy or shared password makes brute force or credential stuffing much easier.
Your site doesn’t use HTTPS, exposing data and hurting SEO trust signals.
Plugins with security issues remain active or unpatched, exposing your site to risks.
Bots try multiple username/password combinations to gain access to your wp-admin.
