<p>BBH Security Insight runs a lightweight, read-only security audit on your WordPress installation and generates a professional Security Risk Report with color-coded risk levels (Critical, Warning, Safe), an overall security score (0–100), and detailed remediation recommendations.</p>
<p>This plugin is <strong>completely read-only</strong> — it never modifies files, never changes settings, and never sends data to external servers. It simply inspects your WordPress configuration and reports findings.</p>
<h4>Audit Checks Include</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>WordPress Version Exposure</strong> — Detects if your WordPress version is exposed via readme.html or generator tags.</li>
<li><strong>Database Table Prefix</strong> — Checks if you are using the default <code>wp_</code> prefix.</li>
<li><strong>XML-RPC Status</strong> — Reports whether XML-RPC is enabled or disabled.</li>
<li><strong>DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT</strong> — Verifies if the built-in file editor is disabled.</li>
<li><strong>WP_DEBUG Status</strong> — Checks whether debug mode is active on production.</li>
<li><strong>Directory Browsing</strong> — Checks whether directory listing appears to be disabled.</li>
<li><strong>readme.html Exposure</strong> — Checks for the presence of the readme file.</li>
<li><strong>install.php Exposure</strong> — Checks if the installation script is accessible.</li>
<li><strong>wp-config.php Permissions</strong> — Verifies file permissions on this critical file.</li>
<li><strong>wp-content Permissions</strong> — Checks directory permissions on your content directory.</li>
<li><strong>User Enumeration Exposure</strong> — Checks for common user enumeration exposure patterns.</li>
<li><strong>Security Headers</strong> — Scans for CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and X-Content-Type-Options.</li>
<li><strong>Uploads PHP Execution</strong> — Checks if PHP execution is blocked in the uploads directory.</li>
<li><strong>Admin Username</strong> — Detects if an administrator uses the default “admin” username.</li>
<li><strong>Malware Heuristics</strong> — Performs lightweight checks for suspicious code patterns in active plugin and theme PHP files.</li>
</ul>
