<p><strong>Aipatch Security Scanner</strong> is a lightweight security scanner that helps you understand and improve your site’s security posture.</p>
<p>Unlike heavy security suites, Aipatch Security Scanner focuses on <strong>clarity over complexity</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Security Score:</strong> A simple 0–100 score that summarizes your site’s security status at a glance.</li>
<li><strong>Local Scanner:</strong> Detects outdated plugins, themes, core versions, risky configurations, and common security weaknesses — all locally, with no external dependencies.</li>
<li><strong>Known Vulnerabilities:</strong> Checks your installed software against a built-in knowledge base of known vulnerabilities. Future versions will support external vulnerability feeds for broader coverage.</li>
<li><strong>Safe Hardening:</strong> Toggle security improvements like XML-RPC blocking, REST API restrictions, WordPress version hiding, and login brute-force protection — each with clear explanations and compatibility warnings.</li>
<li><strong>Security Logs:</strong> A clean log of all security events, scans, and changes made through the plugin.</li>
<li><strong>Site Health Integration:</strong> Adds custom security tests to the WordPress Site Health screen.</li>
<li><strong>Scan History:</strong> Every scan is saved so you can track your security score over time.</li>
<li><strong>Module Control:</strong> Enable or disable individual modules (scanner, hardening, vulnerabilities, login protection) from settings.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Philosophy</h4>
<p>Aipatch Security Scanner is designed to give site owners <strong>clear, actionable information</strong> without being overwhelmed by technical jargon or upsell pressure. Every finding includes what it means, why it matters, and what to do — in plain language.</p>
<h4>What Aipatch Security Scanner Does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Runs 12 local security checks against your installation</li>
<li>Calculates a risk score based on findings</li>
<li>Compares installed plugins, themes, and core against known vulnerabilities</li>
<li>Applies optional hardening rules via WordPress filters (no file modifications)</li>
<li>Logs all security events to a dedicated database table</li>
<li>Integrates with WordPress Site Health</li>
</ul>
<h4>What Aipatch Security Scanner Does NOT Do</h4>
<ul>
<li>It is NOT a firewall or WAF.</li>
<li>It does NOT scan files for malware.</li>
<li>It does NOT modify your .htaccess or wp-config.php automatically.</li>
<li>It does NOT phone home or require an account to function.</li>
<li>It does NOT intercept frontend requests or affect page load performance.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Future Roadmap</h4>
<ul>
<li>External vulnerability feed integration (API-based)</li>
<li>File integrity monitoring</li>
<li>Email alerts for critical findings</li>
<li>Extended multisite support</li>
</ul>
