<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external services:
<h4>1. WordPress.org Checksums API</h4>
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <code>https://api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/1.0/</code></li>
<li>What it does: Retrieves the official MD5 checksums for all WordPress core files so the plugin can verify that no core file has been modified or tampered with.</li>
<li>When data is sent: Only when a core integrity check is explicitly triggered by the site administrator via the authenticated REST API endpoint <code>/security/core-integrity</code>.</li>
<li>What data is sent: The installed WordPress version number and the site locale (e.g. <code>en_US</code>). No personal data is sent.</li>
<li>Service provider: WordPress.org (Automattic Inc.)</li>
<li>Terms of use: <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/domains/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Terms of Service</a></li>
<li>Privacy policy: <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>2. WordPress.org Translations API</h4>
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <code>https://api.wordpress.org/translations/plugins/1.0/</code>, <code>https://api.wordpress.org/translations/themes/1.0/</code>, and <code>https://api.wordpress.org/translations/core/1.0/</code></li>
<li>What it does: Returns the latest available translation package versions for plugins, themes, and WordPress core in the site’s locale, so the plugin can determine which translations need updating.</li>
<li>When data is sent: When translation updates are checked, either on demand or as part of a full updates check, explicitly triggered by the site administrator via the authenticated REST API.</li>
<li>What data is sent: Plugin/theme slugs, their version numbers, and the site locale. No personal data is sent.</li>
<li>Service provider: WordPress.org (Automattic Inc.)</li>
<li>Terms of use: <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/domains/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Terms of Service</a></li>
<li>Privacy policy: <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
These are the only two external services this plugin connects to. No other HTTP requests are made to any third-party service.
<h4>Important note about domain name references in the source code</h4>
The plugin’s security scanner contains a hardcoded list of well-known, legitimate third-party domain names used as a local string-matching whitelist only. This list includes domains such as:
<ul>
<li>google-analytics.com, googletagmanager.com, googleapis.com</li>
<li>maps.google.com, maps.googleapis.com</li>
<li>tawk.to, crisp.chat, intercom.io, zendesk.com</li>
<li>cdn.jsdelivr.net, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, code.jquery.com, unpkg.com</li>
<li>recaptcha.net, gstatic.com</li>
</ul>
These domains are NOT contacted, called, or connected to in any way by this plugin. No HTTP requests, API calls, or any form of network communication is made to any of these domains.
The domain names appear as plain string constants in a PHP array. When the security scanner analyzes post and page content for potentially malicious script injections (e.g. <code><script src="..."></code> tags), it compares the <code>src</code> attribute against this whitelist using local string matching. Scripts referencing whitelisted domains are recognized as legitimate and excluded from the scan results, reducing false positives. The entire comparison happens locally in PHP memory — no data leaves the server.

Lock My Site

Lightweight worker plugin for remote WordPress maintenance and management via secure REST API.

Digitizer

SiteAgent is the bridge between your WordPress sites and the <a href="https://my-aura.app" rel="nofollow ugc">Aura infrastructure dashboard</a> — a unified control center for teams managing multiple WordPress sites alongside servers, CDN, and DNS.
Install this plugin on any WordPress site to unlock remote management capabilities directly from Aura — no SSH, no wp-admin juggling, no manual logins.
<h4>What You Can Do</h4>
<ul>
<li>Monitor site health — See WordPress version, PHP version, installed plugins & themes, database info, and disk usage in real time.</li>
<li>Update plugins, themes & core remotely — Push updates to any connected site from the Aura dashboard, no wp-admin login.</li>
<li>Safe batch updates with auto-rollback — Run chunked updates with health checks; if an update breaks the site, the plugin restores the previous version automatically.</li>
<li>Per-plugin rollback — Every update is zip-snapshotted first; restore any plugin to its last good state on demand.</li>
<li>Bulk translation & database upgrades — Update all language packs and run WordPress database migrations remotely.</li>
<li>One-click connect (magic link) — Connect a site to Aura straight from wp-admin — no manual token copy/paste.</li>
<li>AI-agent ready (MCP tools) — Exposes machine-readable tools (site context, safe plugin update, asset cleanup, vulnerability checks) for AI-driven management.</li>
<li>Zero frontend impact — The plugin only registers REST API endpoints. No scripts, no styles, no database queries on visitor-facing page loads.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
After activation, click Connect to Aura on the Settings → SiteAgent page for a one-click magic-link connection, or copy the Site Token shown once and paste it into your Aura dashboard manually. From that point, Aura communicates with your site over a signed, authenticated REST API to pull health data and push updates.
<h4>Security</h4>
Defence-in-depth protects every request:
<ol>
<li>WordPress Application Password — Standard WordPress auth with capability checks (<code>manage_options</code> / <code>update_*</code>). Only authorized administrators can trigger actions.</li>
<li>Hashed Site Token — A per-site token sent via the <code>X-Aura-Token</code> header. Only a SHA-256 hash is stored (never the raw token), compared timing-safely. Tokens from older versions migrate to a hash automatically.</li>
<li>Brute-force throttling — Repeated bad-token attempts from an IP are blocked.</li>
<li>Signed magic-link connect — The onboarding callback is HMAC-signed with a one-time secret and timestamp, so the token exchange can’t be hijacked or replayed.</li>
<li>IP / Domain allowlist (optional) — Restrict API access to your Aura instance, with Cloudflare and reverse-proxy header support.</li>
</ol>
You can rotate the token anytime from Settings → SiteAgent → Regenerate Token.
<h4>REST API Endpoints</h4>
Core endpoints under <code>/wp-json/aura/v1/</code>:
<ul>

<li><code>GET /updates</code> — Check available updates (core, plugins, themes, translations)</li>
<li><code>POST /update/core</code> / <code>/update/plugin</code> / <code>/update/theme</code> / <code>/update/translations</code> — Apply updates</li>
<li><code>POST /update/database</code> — Run WordPress database upgrades</li>
<li><code>POST /connect</code> — Magic-link token exchange (public, HMAC-signed, 10-minute expiry)</li>
</ul>
Version 2 endpoints under <code>/wp-json/aura/v2/</code>:
<ul>
<li><code>GET /health</code> — HTTP, PHP fatal, white-screen and DB connectivity checks</li>
<li><code>POST /update/batch</code> — Chunked batch updates with auto-rollback on health failure</li>
<li><code>POST /rollback/{plugin}</code> — Restore a plugin from its most recent backup</li>
</ul>
MCP tools under <code>/wp-json/aura/mcp/</code>:
<ul>
<li><code>POST /tools/list</code> / <code>POST /tools/execute</code> — Enumerate and run AI-agent tools</li>
<li><code>GET /context</code> — Full site context for AI decision-making</li>
</ul>
