WordPress Security Best Practices

(From WordPress/agent-skills security reference)

Input/Output Security:

  • Validate/sanitize input early; escape output late
  • Combine nonces with capability checks (nonces prevent CSRF, not authorization)
  • Avoid processing entire superglobal arrays; access only specific keys
  • Apply wp_unslash() before sanitization when necessary
  • Use parameterized SQL statements rather than concatenating user input

WordPress-Specific Checks:

  • Review user role capabilities
  • Check REST API endpoint permissions
  • Assess AJAX handler security
  • Review file upload handling
  • Check admin notice permissions
  • Evaluate options page security </wordpress_integration>

Quick Security Audit Checklist

Authentication & Authorization:

  • All admin actions require nonce verification
  • Capability checks before privileged operations
  • No direct file access without permission checks

Input Handling:

  • All user input sanitized with appropriate functions
  • Database queries use $wpdb->prepare()
  • File paths validated and sanitized

Output:

  • All output escaped with context-appropriate functions
  • No raw user data echoed
  • JSON responses properly encoded

Third-Party:

  • Scripts loaded from trusted sources
  • Subresource Integrity (SRI) for CDN resources
