FP Site Security is a self-contained WordPress security plugin. It runs entirely on your own site — no external dashboards, no license servers, no cloud sync.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Login protection — brute-force lockout, optional TOTP two-factor authentication</li>
<li>Firewall — built-in rules and request blocking</li>
<li>DDoS rate limiting</li>
<li>Near-real-time malware scanning with signature and heuristic detection</li>
<li>File integrity monitoring</li>
<li>Optional WordPress.org checksum verification</li>
<li>Optional outdated plugin/theme/core checks</li>
<li>Quarantine and guided cleanup</li>
<li>Local + scheduled backups</li>
<li>Activity log and reports</li>
<li>Admin email alerts</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to a small number of third-party services. All of them are optional and only contacted when you turn them on, supply credentials, or opt in to a feature that explicitly depends on that service.
WordPress.org (checksum and update verification, optional) — Only contacted if you enable WordPress.org verification lookups in the plugin settings. When enabled, the plugin requests WordPress core checksums and update metadata from <code>api.wordpress.org</code>. No personal data is sent. wordpress.org Privacy: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/.
Google reCAPTCHA (optional) — Only contacted if you enable reCAPTCHA on login/register/password-reset and supply your own site keys. The plugin loads <code>https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js</code> on the login page and submits responses to <code>https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify</code>. Google reCAPTCHA Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Slack (optional) — Only contacted if you enable Slack notifications and configure a webhook URL. Security events are posted to the webhook you supply.
Sentry (optional) — Only contacted if you enable Sentry notifications and configure a Sentry DSN. Critical events are posted to the Sentry endpoint encoded in your DSN.
<h3>Filesystem scope</h3>
The plugin only writes to the database and a small set of clearly named directories under <code>wp-content/uploads/</code>. It never asks users to edit plugin files, and it does not store runtime data in its own plugin folder. Every write below is gated behind an admin nonce or a WordPress cron event — there is no path that an unauthenticated visitor can use to write to disk.
<ul>
<li><code>wp-content/uploads/firssise-backups/</code> — created by the local-backup feature when scheduled or manual backups are run. Contains the generated <code>.zip</code> archives. Backups are NOT removed on uninstall (that’s your data); delete the folder manually if you don’t want them.</li>
<li><code>wp-content/uploads/firssise-logs/</code> — internal error log written by the plugin’s own error-capture handlers when the “Monitor PHP error log” option is enabled. The directory gets a blank <code>index.html</code> and a restrictive <code>.htaccess</code> file when supported by the server.</li>
<li>Quarantine records are stored in the WordPress database. Flagged files are deleted from disk when quarantined instead of being copied into the plugin directory or a public uploads subfolder.</li>
</ul>
The plugin reads many other paths (WordPress core files, other plugins, themes, uploads) for integrity scanning and malware detection, but it does not write to them.
