WordPress WP-CLI Admin

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent WordPress WP-CLI administration helper with local inspection scripts and disclosed high-impact admin capabilities, with one minor disclosure gap around listing WordPress users.

Install only if you intend to let an agent operate a WordPress site through WP-CLI. Review commands before write operations such as updates, imports, search-replace, or user/content changes, and treat the inspection script output as sensitive because it includes site configuration and account-role information.

Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
