How VideoWhisper Security Audit works
Show full descriptionShow less
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.
Admin Scan tab with queued scan processing, live progress, per-task status, resume/retry controls, scan date, report summary, and report findings.
Configurable scan execution mode: queued scans by default, or legacy synchronous scans for small/basic sites.
Importance-based scan modes: full, critical/high/medium, and critical-only.
Report filters for issues only or all check results, including passed informational checks when available.
JSON and plain-text Markdown report output.
Optional token-protected REST report endpoint.
Optional token-protected MCP endpoint for read-only AI-agent reports.
Optional WordPress 6.9+ Abilities for admin-only read-only security overview, vulnerability, exposure, integrity, readiness, performance risk, and Markdown audit reports.
Optional exposure of those abilities through the official WordPress MCP Adapter when installed separately.
Read-only integration with VideoWhisper AI Site Manager – Using ChatGPT Claude Codex when both plugins are active, including report reads and agent-friendly queued scan tools.
Separate REST and MCP enable/disable settings.
Generated local tokens with rotation controls and last-used metadata.
REST/MCP per-minute rate limiting and optional exact IP allowlist.
Admin scan cooldown, hourly scan limit, and separate agent scan cooldown.
Category toggles for security, integrity, performance, readiness, commerce, community, and backup checks.
Redacted AI report defaults, with optional exact version and path disclosure for MCP reports.
Optional WPVulnerability API lookups for installed plugin vulnerability data.
Disclaimers in the admin report and Agents tab about report limits, sensitive information, and third-party AI analysis.
Queued scans
Queued scanning is the default admin interface. It splits inventory, exposure, vulnerability, integrity, performance, and readiness checks into small AJAX-polled batches. This avoids browser, proxy, and PHP timeout issues on larger sites while showing progress and recent queue events. Failed tasks can be retried, and unfinished jobs can be resumed from the Scan tab.
Administrators that prefer the original one-request scan flow can switch Scan execution to “Synchronous legacy scan” in Settings.
Local checks
Security Audit currently checks local WordPress signals including:
Plugin and theme updates.
Inactive plugins.
Administrator account count.
Expected WordPress database tables.
Administrator role capabilities.
Upload directory writability.
Debug log file presence.
Git metadata in the web root.
XML-RPC availability.
Common homepage security headers.
Autoloaded option size.
Expired transient count.
WP-Cron disabled state.
Permalink structure.
Search engine visibility setting.
Privacy Policy page presence.
Basic WooCommerce page readiness when WooCommerce is active.
Agent and API reports
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:
key: generated REST token. A bearer token can also be used.
mode: full, important, critical, or changed.
report: issues or all.
format: omit for JSON, or use markdown for plain Markdown output.
The MCP endpoint supports read-only tools for security summary, vulnerability, exposure, integrity, performance risk, readiness, and Markdown audit reports. Tool arguments include mode and report.
When VideoWhisper AI Site Manager is active, Security Audit also registers agent tools for latest summary/report reads, synchronous scan refreshes for small sites, scan task discovery, queued scan creation, queue batch processing, queue status polling, and retrying failed scan tasks.
On WordPress 6.9+, administrators can also enable WordPress Abilities. These abilities are admin-only, read-only, and permission-checked with manage_options by default. They can optionally be marked public for the official WordPress MCP Adapter, which must be installed separately. Existing REST and MCP endpoints remain available and are not replaced.
Some sites use an OAuth, firewall, or bearer-auth layer that consumes Authorization: Bearer before the Security Audit route receives the request. If standalone Codex MCP bearer setup returns oauth_token_invalid or a similar upstream bearer-auth error, use the MCP path-token URL shown on the Agents tab instead of the bearer URL.
Endpoint protection controls include:
REST/MCP requests per minute per IP.
Separate agent scan cooldown.
Optional exact IPv4/IPv6 allowlist.
Token rotation.
Developer hooks
Security Audit exposes generic hooks that any plugin can use to extend scan data, reports, admin UI, and Site Manager integration:
vwsa_latest_snapshot filters the latest stored snapshot before reports use it.
vwsa_scan_settings filters normalized scan settings for a scan context.
vwsa_scan_inventory filters inventory data before findings are finalized.
vwsa_scan_findings filters findings before snapshot lifecycle metadata is saved.
vwsa_scan_queue_tasks filters task definitions shown and queued by the Scan tab.
vwsa_scan_queue_process_task processes extension-owned queue tasks without coupling the extension to Free internals.
vwsa_snapshot_before_save filters the completed snapshot before it is stored.
vwsa_snapshot_saved fires after a snapshot is stored.
vwsa_report filters built report output.
vwsa_site_manager_integration filters the Site Manager integration definition.
vwsa_admin_findings_after renders content after findings.
Important limitations and disclaimers
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.
External services
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 https://www.wpvulnerability.net/ to retrieve vulnerability data. No API key is required for normal component lookups. Responses are cached locally. See:
https://www.wpvulnerability.com/
https://docs.wpvulnerability.com/
https://www.wpvulnerability.com/privacy/
https://www.wpvulnerability.com/license/
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.
