Abstract

Protecting the web applications is an important task for every organization. Wordpress is the most preferred content management system by organizations. In this paper we discuss why Wordpress is an important web application and the necessity of securing it. Another analyzed aspect regards the security of backup plugins created for Wordpress from the perspective of sensitive data leak, number of vulnerable modules, causes of vulnerability, most common mistakes and the impact of such vulnerabilities. Based on an experimental plan, the paper also emphasizes the destructive potential of those vulnerable backup plugins on the most relevant websites among the top ten million worldwide websites.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
