Everything MonitOrca scans on your WordPress site.

Most security tools only check one thing. Orca AI cross-references your plugins and themes against the NIST NVD, audits your configuration, and explains each finding in plain English.

Plugin Vulnerability Scanning

Every installed plugin checked against the NIST National Vulnerability Database for known CVEs, synced daily.

Configuration Hardening Audit

Checks XML-RPC exposure, file editing, admin account hygiene, debug mode, and force-SSL settings.

XML-RPC Attack Surface

Checks if XML-RPC is exposed — the #1 vector for brute force and DDoS amplification attacks.

User Enumeration & Brute Force

Detects if attackers can enumerate your usernames via ?author=1 or login flooding.

Theme Vulnerability Scanning

Themes are attack vectors too. Active and inactive themes checked against NVD for known CVEs.

PHP Error Log Monitoring

Fatal errors, deprecated calls, and database connection failures — caught in real time.

SSL Certificate & HTTPS Check

Monitors certificate expiration and mixed-content warnings that trigger “Not Secure” in browsers.

WordPress & PHP Version Tracking

Outdated WordPress core and PHP versions are the easiest targets. We track both.

AI-Powered

Ask anything about your WordPress site. Get real answers.

Orca AI can see your site's logs, performance, plugins, and configuration. It doesn't guess — it reads your actual data and tells you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it.

“Why is my site slow today?”
“Are any of my plugins vulnerable?”
“What changed since last week?”
“How do I fix this PHP error?”

Orca AI Just now

Are any of my plugins vulnerable right now?

I scanned your 23 installed plugins against the NIST NVD. 1 critical issue found:

Critical: contact-form-7 v5.7.1 has a SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-1234). Update to v5.7.2 immediately.

22 other plugins are secure.

WordPress has real security risks. Here’s what actually gets exploited.

These aren't hypotheticals — they're the attack vectors used against WordPress sites every day. MonitOrca monitors all of them.

SQL Injection via Plugins

Unpatched plugins like older versions of Contact Form 7-adjacent plugins and WooCommerce extensions are the #1 source of SQL injection attacks. MonitOrca flags these the moment a CVE is published.

XML-RPC Brute Force & DDoS

WordPress’s XML-RPC endpoint lets attackers try hundreds of passwords in a single request. It’s also used for DDoS amplification. MonitOrca checks if yours is exposed and alerts you.

User Enumeration

Attackers use ?author=1 to discover admin usernames, then brute force the login. MonitOrca detects if your site leaks usernames and recommends hardening steps.

Stored XSS in Themes

Vulnerable themes allow attackers to inject JavaScript that steals admin sessions. We scan active and inactive themes against the full CVE database.

Weak Authentication Keys

Default or unchanged WordPress salt keys make session hijacking trivial. Orca AI checks your wp-config hardening and tells you what to regenerate.

Outdated PHP & WordPress Core

Running unsupported versions is like leaving the door open. We track your WordPress and PHP versions and alert you when you fall behind supported releases.

How to secure your WordPress site — the MonitOrca way.

Most guides give you a 47-step checklist. We give you a plugin that does it automatically and an AI that explains what matters.

1. Install the Plugin

One-click install from your WordPress admin. Takes 60 seconds. No code, no SSH, no server access needed.

2. Get Your Security Report

Orca AI scans your plugins, themes, PHP version, file integrity, and server config. Your first report is ready within minutes.

3. Fix What Matters

Each finding comes with a severity rating and specific fix instructions. Ask Orca AI for clarification in plain English anytime.

MonitOrca vs. Wordfence, Sucuri & MalCare

Traditional security plugins tell you something is wrong. Orca AI tells you what's wrong, why it matters, and exactly how to fix it.

Other tools say “vulnerable.” Orca AI tells you what to do.

Wordfence gives you a CVE number. Sucuri gives you a risk score. MonitOrca gives you a conversation — ask Orca AI what the vulnerability means, whether it affects your specific config, and the exact steps to fix it.

“Am I actually affected?” — Orca AI checks your specific plugin version and config
“What should I do first?” — prioritized action list, most critical issues first
“Was my site already compromised?” — file change history and error log analysis
“How do I harden my site?” — personalized hardening plan, not a generic checklist

WordPress Security FAQ

Yes. Install the plugin and within minutes you get a complete security scan covering plugin vulnerabilities, theme vulnerabilities, malware detection, file change monitoring, PHP errors, SSL status, and WordPress/PHP version checks. Orca AI then explains every finding in plain English and tells you exactly how to fix it.

Yes. MonitOrca monitors file changes across your WordPress installation to detect unauthorized modifications, injected code, and known malware patterns. When changes are detected, Orca AI analyzes the modification and tells you whether it's malicious or a legitimate update.

Traditional security plugins alert you to problems but leave you to figure out the fix. MonitOrca includes Orca AI — an AI analyst with direct access to your site's data. Ask it “What does this CVE mean for my site?” or “Should I be worried about this file change?” and get a specific answer, not a generic knowledge base article. MonitOrca also combines security with uptime monitoring, performance tracking, and Core Web Vitals — so you don't need three separate tools.

XML-RPC is a WordPress API endpoint (xmlrpc.php) that allows remote communication with your site. Attackers exploit it for brute force attacks (trying hundreds of password combinations in a single request) and DDoS amplification. Most modern WordPress sites don't need it. MonitOrca checks whether your XML-RPC endpoint is exposed and recommends disabling it if it's not in use.

Orca AI analyzes your file change history, PHP error logs, and plugin vulnerability timeline to identify signs of compromise. Ask it “Has my site been hacked?” and it will review the evidence and tell you what it finds. If there are suspicious file modifications or error patterns consistent with exploitation, it flags them and tells you what to do next.

WordPress core is generally well-maintained, but default installations have known attack surfaces: XML-RPC is enabled by default, user enumeration is possible via author archives, and the real risk comes from plugins — which are the #1 source of WordPress vulnerabilities. MonitOrca continuously monitors all of these and alerts you the moment your exposure changes.

No. Unlike Wordfence which runs on every page load, MonitOrca's plugin uses lightweight background tasks and never executes on your visitors' requests. Security scans and uptime checks run from our servers, not yours. Zero front-end overhead.

The “Not Secure” warning in your browser means your SSL certificate has expired, is misconfigured, or your site has mixed content (loading some resources over HTTP instead of HTTPS). MonitOrca monitors your SSL certificate status, alerts you before it expires, and Orca AI can help you diagnose mixed-content issues.
