The prompts
Prompt 1
Analyze the potential security risks associated with using the 'Genesis Sample' theme, particularly focusing on common vulnerabilities that arise from outdated plugins, insecure coding practices often found in child themes, and potential conflicts with popular WordPress plugins. Consider both front-end and back-end vulnerabilities. Provide specific examples and recommendations for mitigation.
Prompt 2
As a cybersecurity expert specializing in WordPress, evaluate the security posture of the 'Altitude Pro' theme within the Genesis Framework. Identify potential weaknesses related to user input sanitization, cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and authentication bypass vulnerabilities. Provide code snippets or examples demonstrating how these vulnerabilities could be exploited and offer secure coding practices to prevent them. Focus specifically on the theme's handling of custom fields and user-generated content.
Prompt 3
You are a WordPress security auditor. I need a breakdown of potential security risks when using a Genesis framework child theme with custom functions. I am particularly worried about privilege escalation and code injection. Assume I am using several common plugins such as Woocommerce and Elementor. Output in a Markdown table with risks and potential mitigations.
