WARM โ€“ WordPress Assessment of Risk Methodology

September 2025 - Present

I am developing ๐—ช๐—”๐—ฅ๐—  which stands for ๐˜ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ˆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜™๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฌ ๐˜”๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜จ๐˜บ, a framework designed to dynamically evaluate the security posture of WordPress websites.

Unlike static checklists or traditional scanners, ๐—ช๐—”๐—ฅ๐—  analyzes WordPress website’s specific features such as plugins, themes, file uploads, forms, server settings, and exposed endpoints and maps them to likely vulnerability classes such as RCE, XSS, SQLi, privilege escalation to name a few.

By combining this feature analysis with vulnerability intelligence such as data from WPScan, Sucuri SiteCheck and other tools/services to weighted scoring formula, WARM produces:

  โ€ข A transparent, explainable risk score tailored to each website.
  โ€ข A prioritized list of potential vulnerabilities and risks based on the websiteโ€™s actual configuration.
  โ€ข Actionable hardening recommendations that bridge the gap between technical analysts and non-technical owners.

The goal of ๐—ช๐—”๐—ฅ๐—  is to shift WordPress security from reactive cleanup to proactive, evidence-based hardening and prevention.
