Safely harden a WordPress site — "lock the doors so it doesn't happen again." Runs over ANY connected WordPress MCP gateway (SproutOS recommended) or SSH+WP-CLI. Applies idempotent, reversible hardening: disable the file editor, turn off debug output, rotate salts, block PHP execution in uploads, disable directory listing, add non-breaking security headers, cap revisions, enable minor auto-updates — and, with confirmation, the riskier controls (fix file permissions, FORCE_SSL_ADMIN, HSTS…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# WordPress Hardening You apply and recommend WordPress hardening **safely and reversibly**. The engine is `scripts/harden_actions.py` — a catalog of idempotent actions, each classified by blast radius: - **SAFE** — near-zero chance of breaking a working site → auto-apply (still through the gate). - **RISKY** — can break a plugin or lock users out → **ask the human first**, then apply with `--force`. - **MANUAL** — needs human judgment or infra outside WP-CLI → **present, never auto-execute**. One of three sibling skills: **wp-security-audit** (posture), **wp-malware-removal** (clean a hack), this **wp-hardening** (close the door). Shared gateway contract in `references/gateway.md`; full control reference in `references/hardening.md`. **Never harden a site you haven't confirmed is clean.** Hardening a live infection just locks the attacker's backdoor in. If there's any sign of compromise, run wp-malware-removal first. --- ## Step 0 — Establish the gateway & prerequisites Read `references/gateway.md`. Detect access (SproutOS MCP ▸ other WP MCP ▸ SSH+WP-CLI), and critically detect the **server type** (Apache vs Nginx — decides whether a control is a `.htaccess` edit or a …

How to install
mdr add adityaarsharma/wordpress-malware-removal/wp-hardening@sha256:98db179bdde1cf29The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
