In this talk at WordPress Chiang Mai, I walked through how we built a scalable member-driven event site for a client using WordPress. In this project, we decided not to use any plugins for the main calendar feature or the role-based controls. Instead we built all functions to meet the clients specification, mostly using php templates.
In this talk I covered data surrounding plugin vulnerabilities, and how website admins can best protect their sites.
Here’s a snippet from one of the slides:
Plugin vulnerabilities are security flaws in WordPress plugins that can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access, inject malicious code, or compromise website functionality.
These vulnerabilities often arise from poor coding practices, lack of updates, or insufficient security measures, potentially leading to data breaches, defaced websites, or complete site takeovers.
