## Description

This plugin adds auditing functionality to WordPress. It does this by adding extra

REST API endpoints. Using these endpoints it is possible to: – see the version of
core – see whether there is an update available for core – see what plugins are 
installed – see whether these plugins have been actived – see whether these plugins
have autoupdate enabled – see whether these plugins have updates – see a list of
vulnerabilities for these plugins – see what themes are installed – check if 2FA
is enabled – see MD5 hashes of all theme and plugin folders

For installations where the RESTAPI is disabled, the plugin can also push this information
to an endpoint.
 This will work for installations that are behind a geoblock or 
have no RESTAPI. To disable this, remove the cronjob.

### Dependancies

For getting vulnerabilities of WordPress components this plugin can use the WPVulnerability
plugin
 (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpvulnerability/). If this plugin is installed,
it will be used, otherwise this plugin will work without the information from WPVulnerabilty
plugin. Without installing this dependancy no data is transferred to WPVulnerability.
Please see https://www.wpvulnerability.com/privacy/ for more information.

### External services

In order to determine the latest version of installed software components this plugin
uses the following
 external services: _GitHub_ Terms of Service: https://docs.github.
com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service Privacy Statement: https://
docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement–
Releases list from ImageMagick github repository (https://api.github.com/repos/ImageMagick/
ImageMagick/releases) – Releases list from curl github repository (https://api.github.
com/repos/curl/curl/releases) _Slider Revolution_ Terms of Service: https://www.
sliderrevolution.com/terms/ Privacy Statement: https://www.sliderrevolution.com/
terms/privacy/ – Changelog documentation from Slider Revolution website (https://
www.sliderrevolution.com/documentation/changelog/)

Apart from the usual headers (ip-address, UserAgent) used in a GET request no other
information is send to these services.
 Specifically no version information is transmitted
to external services.

If you fill out an external url in the callback URL field in the settings, a WordPress
cronjob will send a POST request
 with the audit data to this URL daily.

## Installation

Install the plugin via the WordPress “Plugins” menu in WordPress and then
 activate
using the blue “Activate” button. You can add a new user with restrictive role to
your WordPress installation from within the plugin settings page by clicking on 
a button.

## FAQ

### Is it safe?

We use as little rights as possible to get the data from WordPress.
 The API endpoint
does not include any POST, PUT or DELETE methods, so it is read-only. If you do 
see a problem with this plugin, please contact us: https://cloudaware.eu/.well-known/
