About FireWP

Automated security scanning for WordPress plugins

Our Mission

FireWP helps developers and security researchers identify potential vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins before they become threats. We scan thousands of plugins to improve the security of the WordPress ecosystem.

Beta Status

The SAST (Static Application Security Testing) scanner is currently in beta. Please note:

  • Some findings may be false positives
  • Detection rules are continuously being improved
  • Always verify findings with manual code review
  • Coverage is expanding with each update
How It Works

FireWP uses pattern-based static analysis to scan WordPress plugin source code and detect potential security issues including:

  • SQL Injection vulnerabilities
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Insecure direct object references
  • Missing capability checks
  • Other OWASP Top 10 issues
Coverage

We continuously scan plugins from the WordPress.org repository, prioritizing popular plugins with high active install counts to maximize security impact across the ecosystem.

Findings should always be verified through manual security review.
