<p><strong>Security Hardener</strong> is inspired by the official WordPress hardening guide (Advanced Administration / Security / Hardening). It uses the platform’s standard functions and does not override core. Applies a prudent set of defenses:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Security headers</strong>: <code>X-Frame-Options</code>, <code>X-Content-Type-Options</code>, <code>Referrer-Policy</code>, <code>Permissions-Policy</code>, <code>COOP/CORP</code>.  </li>
<li><strong>HSTS</strong> (optional; HTTPS only).  </li>
<li><strong>Basic nonce-based CSP</strong> (optional; requires testing).  </li>
<li><strong>Disable XML-RPC and pingbacks</strong> (optional; enabled by default).  </li>
<li><strong>Hide the WordPress version</strong> in the <code><head></code>.  </li>
<li><strong>Block user enumeration</strong> via <code>/?author=</code> by returning 404.  </li>
<li><strong>Generic login errors</strong> (prevents information leakage).  </li>
<li><strong>IP-based login rate limiting</strong> with transients (configurable threshold and window).  </li>
<li><strong>Restrict the REST API</strong> to authenticated users, with a <strong>minimal allowlist</strong> for oEmbed/index.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>⚠️ <strong>Important:</strong> The <strong>restrict REST API</strong> option and <strong>CSP</strong> can affect integrations and plugins. Test it in <em>staging</em> first.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Privacy</strong>: the plugin does not send data to external services or create new tables. It only uses transients to count failed login attempts.</p>


Security Hardener

Basic hardening: secure headers, enumeration blocking, generic login errors, IP-based rate limiting, and optional restriction of the REST API.

Malware Intercept

<h3>Malcure Security</h3>
<p>★★★★★</p>
<p>Protect your WordPress site from hacks and downtime.</p>
<p>Malcure Security Suite is a fast, lightweight, cloud-connected security platform for WordPress. It performs deep server-side scans (files + database) to catch malware and unauthorized changes, allows you to monitor login activity, enables a site-wide forced re-login after incidents, and sends email alerts of incidents upon scan. Built for commercial workloads—WooCommerce stores, memberships, LMS, bookings, directories, and multi-vendor marketplaces—it plays nicely with caching/CDNs and won’t get in the way of checkout, lessons, or bookings.</p>
<h3>What Malcure Security Suite Focuses On</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Detect:</strong> Deep server-side malware scans (files + database), integrity/diff checks, and vulnerabilities.</li>
<li><strong>Control:</strong> Session analytics (user/IP/device), Emergency Logout (everyone except you), rotate auth keys & salts to invalidate tokens, and force site-wide re-login post-incident. Compatible with 2FA/SSO.</li>
<li><strong>Report:</strong> Clear, actionable summaries with exact file paths and reasons, email alerts with next steps, and audit-friendly logs for teams and compliance (coming-soon).</li>
<li><strong>Logging:</strong> Event logs with identifiable and traceable details.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works (SaaS)</h3>
<ol>
<li>Secure Handshake: Your site authenticates with Malcure and pulls fresh threat intelligence (signatures, heuristics, rules and analysis).</li>
<li>Local-first scanning: Scans your files and database in the background.</li>
<li>Severity-ranked results: Findings are grouped by Critical/High/Medium/Low with exact specs, the reason they were flagged, and one-click actions plus email alerts and audit-ready logs.</li>
<li>Graceful: If the cloud is temporarily unreachable, Malcure Security Suite continues with last-known rules and logs locally until it reconnects.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Deep server-side malware scans (files + database) using tuned signatures + heuristics.</li>
<li>Background scanning so long runs finish reliably on large sites.</li>
<li>Low overhead by design; preserves Core Web Vitals and optimized to minimize impact on site speed</li>
<li>Session management: see who’s logged in, from where.</li>
<li>Emergency Logout: one-click sign-out (everyone except you); rotate auth keys & salts to invalidate sessions.</li>
<li>Robust Event Monitor.</li>
<li>Optimal Dark Mode.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>Signature + heuristic detection for obfuscated/injected PHP/JS (backdoor/web-shell traits).</li>
<li>Database scan of options, postmeta, posts, and comments for malicious payloads.</li>
<li>Email notifications for critical events and scan results</li>
<li>Security status panel (permissions, environment)</li>
<li>Compatible with WooCommerce, LearnDash/TutorLMS, MemberPress/PMP, major booking/event plugins, WPML/Polylang, Elementor/Divi/Block Editor, and caching/CDNs (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, NGINX FastCGI, Cloudflare).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Premium (Pro)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Scheduled scans (daily/weekly/monthly) with summary emails.</li>
