Abstract

The research explores the vulnerabilities and security challenges faced by WordPress applications. WordPress sites are frequently targeted by attackers, taking advantage of vulnerability in the third-party plugins or themes. The research conducts analysis of the WordPress plugins with their common vulnerabilities. The study highlights the importance of secure coding practices, offering a set of guidelines and best practices for developers. This research paper introduces an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) extension to help secure coding practices and mitigate vulnerabilities in stage of WordPress plugin development. The IDE extension is developed for Visual Studio Code IDE, and it is developed using TypeScript and VS code libraries. The application provides real time feedback for developers to follow secure coding practises.
