Aipatch Security Scanner

Aipatch Security Scanner is a modular security audit engine built for site owners, developers, and AI-powered agents who need deep visibility into WordPress security posture — without the bloat of all-in-one security suites.

Why Aipatch Security Scanner?

Most WordPress security plugins are either too simple to be useful or too heavy to be practical. Aipatch takes a different approach:

• Audit-first architecture. Every check is a standalone, testable module that returns structured findings with severity, confidence, evidence, and fingerprints.
• Built for automation. 23 MCP abilities expose the full audit, scanning, and remediation surface to external AI agents — making Aipatch the first WordPress security plugin designed for agentic workflows.
• Zero external dependencies. Everything runs locally. No accounts, no cloud services, no API keys required.
• Reversible by design. Every automated remediation stores rollback data so you can undo any change with one click.

Core Capabilities

36-Point Security Audit

Aipatch runs 36 automated checks across 8 categories — core, plugins, themes, users, configuration, server, access control, and malware surface:

• Outdated WordPress core, plugins, and themes
• Default admin username, excessive admin accounts, inactive admin users, user ID 1 exposure
• XML-RPC, file editor, debug mode, debug log, REST API exposure, directory listing
• PHP version, HTTPS, file permissions, security headers (X-Frame-Options, CSP, etc.)
• Database prefix, sensitive files, PHP execution in uploads, auto-update configuration
• Salt key strength, cron health, cookie security flags, CORS, application passwords
• Exposed backup files, phpinfo files, uploads directory indexing, default login URL
• Database credential security, file installation permissions

Every finding includes a severity (critical / high / medium / low / info), confidence score, human-readable explanation, and actionable recommendation.

Weighted Security Score (0–100)

A logarithmic scoring engine computes an overall security score and per-area breakdown across six risk dimensions: software, access control, configuration, infrastructure, malware surface, and vulnerability exposure. Severity weights and confidence multipliers ensure the score reflects actual risk, not just issue count.

Multi-Layer Malware File Scanner

A three-layer file scanner (content 55%, context 25%, integrity 20%) with 27 detection signatures, Shannon entropy analysis, and malware family classification detects:

• Code execution patterns: eval(), assert(), create_function(), preg_replace /e
• System command functions: shell_exec, exec, passthru, backtick operators
• Obfuscation techniques: base64 encoding, hex encoding, str_rot13, gzinflate chains, chr() concatenation, variable variables, suspiciously long lines
• Network/exfiltration: cURL execution, fsockopen, remote file_get_contents
• Known backdoor signatures: c99, r57, WSO, b374k, weevely, FilesMan
• WordPress-specific threats: unauthorized admin creation, critical option injection, security function removal

Scanning runs in batches via an async job system with configurable batch sizes — safe for shared hosting.

Files are classified into 11 malware families (web shell, obfuscated loader, dropper, persistence backdoor, cloaked PHP, code injector, and more) with confidence scores and remediation hints.
