WARM โ WordPress Assessment of Risk Methodology
I am developing ๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ which stands for ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฅ๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ช๐ด๐ฌ ๐๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐บ, a framework designed to dynamically evaluate the security posture of WordPress websites.
Unlike static checklists or traditional scanners, ๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ 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:
โข A transparent, explainable risk score tailored to each website.
โข A prioritized list of potential vulnerabilities and risks based on the websiteโs actual configuration.
โข Actionable hardening recommendations that bridge the gap between technical analysts and non-technical owners.
The goal of ๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ is to shift WordPress security from reactive cleanup to proactive, evidence-based hardening and prevention.
