WordPress Plugin Hardening for Small Teams
Plugin flexibility is powerful and dangerous. Harden your stack by treating plugins like dependencies with security lifecycle rules.
Step 1: Inventory active plugins with ownership tags
[
{"name": "member-access", "owner": "platform", "criticality": "high"},
{"name": "seo-tools", "owner": "content", "criticality": "medium"}
]
Step 2: Enforce update staging and vulnerability checks
wp plugin update --all --dry-run
wp vuln scan --format table
