Overview
About this plugin
Genisoft Security Connector is the official plugin for WP Security (by Genisoft) — a remote security audit and malware detection service for WordPress.

It exposes a read-only REST API authenticated with HMAC-SHA256 that the WP Security engine calls to audit your site remotely, without SSH or FTP. org checksums, and YARA rules) runs on our servers, in an isolated environment — your site stays light and fast.
What the scanner detects:
PHP webshells and backdoors
Injectors and malicious redirects
Obfuscated / encoded code
Modified WordPress core files
Vulnerable plugins and themes (CVE)
Code injected into the database (wp_options, etc.)
Secure by design:
HMAC-SHA256 authentication on every request (signature + timestamp; requests older than 5 minutes are rejected). One unique key per site.
Read-only: files are read for analysis, never executed (no eval, exec or include on external content).
No SSH, no SFTP.
Third-party service
