VideoWhisper Security Audit creates WordPress site health, exposure, vulnerability, integrity, readiness, and performance reports for site administrators. The plugin is designed to help administrators review site activity and configuration with AI agents or by using the built-in admin report.
The free plugin is read-only. It reports findings and does not perform cleanup, quarantine, updates, file changes, role changes, or other remediation actions.
Main features:
<ul>
<li>Admin Scan tab with scan mode selector, cooldown-aware Run Scan button, scan date, report summary, and report findings.</li>
<li>Importance-based scan modes: full, critical/high/medium, and critical-only.</li>
<li>Report filters for issues only or all check results, including passed informational checks when available.</li>
<li>JSON and plain-text Markdown report output.</li>
<li>Optional token-protected REST report endpoint.</li>
<li>Optional token-protected MCP endpoint for read-only AI-agent reports.</li>
<li>Read-only integration with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/videowhisper-site-manager/" rel="ugc">VideoWhisper AI Site Manager – Using ChatGPT Claude Codex</a> when both plugins are active.</li>
<li>Separate REST and MCP enable/disable settings.</li>
<li>Generated local tokens with rotation controls and last-used metadata.</li>
<li>REST/MCP per-minute rate limiting and optional exact IP allowlist.</li>
<li>Admin scan cooldown, hourly scan limit, and separate agent scan cooldown.</li>
<li>Category toggles for security, integrity, performance, readiness, commerce, community, and backup checks.</li>
<li>Redacted AI report defaults, with optional exact version and path disclosure for MCP reports.</li>
<li>Optional WPVulnerability API lookups for installed plugin vulnerability data.</li>
<li>Disclaimers in the admin report and Agents tab about report limits, sensitive information, and third-party AI analysis.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Local checks</h4>
Security Audit currently checks local WordPress signals including:
<ul>
<li>Plugin and theme updates.</li>
<li>Inactive plugins.</li>
<li>Administrator account count.</li>
<li>Expected WordPress database tables.</li>
<li>Administrator role capabilities.</li>
<li>Upload directory writability.</li>
<li>Debug log file presence.</li>
<li>Git metadata in the web root.</li>
<li>XML-RPC availability.</li>
<li>Common homepage security headers.</li>
<li>Autoloaded option size.</li>
<li>Expired transient count.</li>
<li>WP-Cron disabled state.</li>
<li>Permalink structure.</li>
<li>Search engine visibility setting.</li>
<li>Privacy Policy page presence.</li>
<li>Basic WooCommerce page readiness when WooCommerce is active.</li>
<li>Optional WPVulnerability plugin vulnerability lookups.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Agent and API reports</h4>
REST and MCP endpoints are disabled by default. When enabled, Security Audit automatically generates local tokens. Anyone with a valid token can read the selected report until the token is rotated, so treat tokens as sensitive secrets.
The REST report endpoint supports:
<ul>
<li><code>key</code>: generated REST token. A bearer token can also be used.</li>
<li><code>mode</code>: <code>full</code>, <code>important</code>, <code>critical</code>, or <code>changed</code>.</li>
<li><code>report</code>: <code>issues</code> or <code>all</code>.</li>
<li><code>format</code>: omit for JSON, or use <code>markdown</code> for plain Markdown output.</li>
</ul>
The MCP endpoint supports read-only tools for security summary, vulnerability, exposure, integrity, performance risk, readiness, and Markdown audit reports. Tool arguments include <code>mode</code> and <code>report</code>.
Endpoint protection controls include:
<ul>
<li>REST/MCP requests per minute per IP.</li>
<li>Separate agent scan cooldown.</li>
<li>Optional exact IPv4/IPv6 allowlist.</li>
<li>Token rotation.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Important limitations and disclaimers</h4>
Security Audit reports are informational only. Findings and AI-ready reports may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or unsuitable for a specific site or legal situation.
Security Audit does not provide legal advice, compliance certification, professional security advice, malware cleanup, incident response, or a guarantee that a site is secure. Administrators should verify findings and consult an experienced security, technical, or legal provider before making important changes.
REST and MCP reports may expose sensitive operational information, including site configuration, component versions, possible vulnerabilities, paths, and other details. Enable agent endpoints only when you understand where the data will be sent and who can access the token.
Third-party AI agents may produce incomplete, incorrect, unsafe, or unsuitable recommendations. Review all recommendations before acting and do not perform destructive changes without backups and appropriate professional review.
This plugin is not a firewall, malware cleaner, legal compliance tool, vulnerability scanner guarantee, or replacement for backups, security monitoring, dedicated scanners, or experienced administrators.
<h4>External services</h4>
By default, Security Audit does not call external vulnerability services.
If the administrator enables WPVulnerability lookups, the plugin sends installed plugin slugs to the public WPVulnerability API at <code>https://www.wpvulnerability.net/</code> to retrieve vulnerability data. No API key is required for normal component lookups. Responses are cached locally. See:
<ul>
<li>https://www.wpvulnerability.com/</li>
<li>https://docs.wpvulnerability.com/</li>
<li>https://www.wpvulnerability.com/privacy/</li>
<li>https://www.wpvulnerability.com/license/</li>
</ul>
During scans, Security Audit may also make a local HTTP HEAD request to the site’s own homepage URL to inspect response headers. This request is sent to the configured site URL, not to a third-party vulnerability service.

The Site Health Tools plugin implements a selection of additional tools to the Site Health section of your site, to help you diagnose common issues.
These are checks that require some form of user interaction, and therefore are not as good of a fit as the automatic nature of the normal Site Health checker.
Providing tools such as: 
– Debug log viewer 
– File integrity checker 
– PHP information 
– Mail sending test 
– Plugin PHP compatibility checker 
– And more…

Site Health Tools


Some Site Health tests and diagnostic tools are not suited for automated testing, and always to be executed and shown in the Site Health main Status tab. They may also not be pure static information, or limited size suited for the Info tab, like text/log file contents. This excellent, high quality plugin lists such tools, tests and viwers in an accordion under an additional Site Health tab labelled Tools.







This accordion is filterable and hence extendable for developers to add their own special tools. To ensure such modifaction or additions to always work, developers may declare this plgins as a dependcy of their own.







The included tools in version 1.0 are not quite perfect and complete yet, but will most likely be enhanced through constructive feedback from the community.







Immature features:




Debug Logs: It uses the WP_DEBUG_LOG constant to determin the log file, not assuming debug.log.and this is excellent. But what about a very large log file?



File Integrity reportsversion.phpto be modified on localized installations



Plugin Compatibility: A lot of processing on third party service just to return that "Highest supported PHP" is either "Could not be determined" or "8.0", ignoring what the plugins themselves declare, and never reports any higher than 8.0.



Transient Summary does not separate expired transients. The description does not warn that deleting all transient may slow down the site or the admin for a while, until regenerated.








A few enhancements and this is five stars from me!


All Site Helath related tools in one place


I like how it just works, is unobtrusive and simple. Great work


Really good simple plugin

Introduces additional common tools to the Site Health interface.
