The method
Use this prompt within a conversation about a specific WordPress plugin or theme. Provide the name and version. Context is key; the more information you give the model, the better the result. Use in conversational mode for best results. Ideal for auditing plugins before use. The perfect condition is that you know the theme or plugin name.
The prompts
Prompt 1
Analyze the WordPress plugin 'WooCommerce' version 8.0.0 for potential security vulnerabilities. Consider common attack vectors such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and remote code execution (RCE). Provide a detailed report outlining the identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and recommended mitigation strategies. Include specific code examples where applicable and references to relevant security best practices.
Prompt 2
Assess the security of the 'Twenty Twenty-Three' WordPress theme. Identify any weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. Focus on areas such as user input validation, data sanitization, and authentication mechanisms. Provide actionable recommendations for hardening the theme against potential threats, considering both common WordPress security vulnerabilities and emerging attack trends. Explain what files are vulnerable.
Prompt 3
Imagine you are a senior WordPress security expert. A client is using the 'Advanced Custom Fields' plugin version 6.2.6, and is concerned about potential vulnerabilities. Perform a thorough security review of this plugin. Detail all possible attack vectors, from privilege escalation and data leakage to cross-site scripting and SQL injection. Provide precise code snippets illustrating potential exploits and offer secure coding alternatives. Also, cross-reference your findings with public security advisories and relevant OWASP guidelines.
