Security audit

WordPress Content REST API

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill provides scoped WordPress content API guidance with explicit dry-run, approval, and least-privilege safeguards.

Before installing, confirm you intend to let the agent help manage WordPress content over the REST API. Use a least-privilege WordPress account or application password, verify WP_SITE points to the intended staging or production site before any write, keep dry-run-first behavior, and require explicit approval for publishing or deleting content.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • 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
