## Description

CyberNote Security Checker is a lightweight plugin that audits your WordPress site’s
security posture without sending any data to external servers.

Many security plugins are powerful but heavy, English-only, and full of technical
jargon. CyberNote Security Checker takes the opposite approach: it targets Japanese
individual bloggers and small business owners who need to understand exactly what
to do — delivered quickly and without specialist knowledge.

**12 diagnostic checks. Zero external requests.**

A widget appears on the WordPress dashboard showing results in three levels: good(
no action needed) / attention (improvement recommended) / recommended (priority 
action required). Each item includes a plain-Japanese explanation of the risk and
step-by-step remediation guidance.

#### Category A: Version Freshness (3 checks)

 * **WordPress core** — Detects whether security-only maintenance releases are unapplied.
   Distinguishes urgency between security patches and feature updates.
 * **PHP version** — Evaluated against official PHP support status. End-of-life 
   versions flagged as « priority action »; security-only branches as « attention».
 * **Plugin and theme updates** — Displays the count and names of pending updates.
   A direct link opens the standard WordPress update screen; the plugin never performs
   updates itself.

#### Category B: Hardening Settings (9 checks)

 * **Debug display** — WP_DEBUG with screen output on a production site is flagged
   as « priority action »; log-only mode as « attention ».
 * **File editing** — If the theme and plugin code editor is enabled in the admin
   panel, flagged as « priority action ».
 * **Admin username** — If a user named admin or administrator exists, flagged as«
   attention » (changing it carries migration risk, so no urgent push).
 * **HTTPS** — Sites running on plain HTTP are flagged as « priority action ».
 * **Database table prefix** — Default wp_ prefix flagged as « attention » (live-
   site changes carry risk, so no urgent push).
 * **XML-RPC** — Enabled XML-RPC is flagged as « attention »; use-case guidance 
   included before recommending disablement.
 * **REST API user enumeration** — If anonymous requests to /wp/v2/users return 
   user data, flagged as « attention ».
 * **Security keys (salts)** — Checks whether the wp-config.php authentication unique
   keys and salts are set and not left at the default placeholder. Missing or default
   keys are flagged as « priority action » (login cookies could be forged). Key 
   values are never read out or displayed.
 * **Unused plugins and themes** — Inactive plugins and unused themes still ship
   files on the server that can be exploited if vulnerable. Their presence is flagged
   as « attention » with removal guidance (keeping one fallback theme is fine).

#### Design Principles

 * **Read-only** — The plugin only presents diagnostic results. It never automatically
   changes site settings or files.
 * **No external requests** — Every check reads WordPress built-in APIs and site
   configuration only. Nothing leaves your server.
 * **Lightweight** — No real-time file scanning, no custom WAF, no resident processes.
   Diagnostics run once when the admin page loads.
 * **Plain language** — Technical terms are avoided. Each check explains why it 
   matters and what to do in everyday language.

#### Vulnerability alerts (separate external service)

This plugin is free and fully functional on its own. Matching your installed plugins
and themes against external vulnerability databases (CVE) requires server-side processing
that cannot be done locally, so it is offered separately as an external service 
called CyberNote, not bundled in this plugin. See https://www.cybernote.click/wp-
security-checker-guide/ for details.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin send any data to external servers?

No. All diagnostics run entirely within your WordPress installation. No data is 
sent anywhere.

### Will running the diagnostics slow down my site?

No. Diagnostics only run when you open the plugin’s admin page or dashboard widget,
and there is no continuous background scanning.

### Does clicking « Open update screen » automatically update my plugins?

No. It navigates to the standard WordPress update screen. The decision to update
is yours.

### How do I get the latest results without reloading the page?

Click the « Re-diagnose » button inside the widget or admin page to refresh results
via AJAX without a full page reload.

### PHP 8.1 is detected. Do I need to upgrade immediately?

PHP 8.1 reached end-of-life in late 2025, so the plugin flags it as « priority action».
However, upgrading PHP can break some plugins or themes. Take a backup, test in 
a staging environment if possible, then upgrade.

### Is it safe to leave XML-RPC enabled?

If you use Jetpack or a mobile app that relies on XML-RPC, leaving it enabled is
fine. If you have no services depending on it, consider disabling it.
