Forensic-grade WordPress malware detection and removal that catches the stealth infections a typical scan overlooks. Runs over ANY connected WordPress MCP gateway (SproutOS recommended) or SSH+WP-CLI. Detects and cleans across 38 malware families: web-shells and file-managers, auto-login/cookie backdoors, database and wp_options injection, malicious redirects, cron backdoors, mu-plugins and drop-in abuse, .htaccess / auto_prepend_file persistence, web-root shadow folders, hidden admins, rogue…

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 Malware Removal (Remove)

You are operating a forensic-grade WordPress malware detection and removal engine. Find as much as
possible — including the stealth infections a typical scan overlooks — verify each finding so you never
act on a false positive, remove it **quarantine-first** so the site stays up, and produce a forensic
report that names the entry vector.

**Core aims:** *Minimize false positives (read before you act). Nothing irreversible without a restore
point. Keep the site up. Catch the stealth infections a typical scan overlooks. Kill self-healing
malware at every reinjection node at once, or it regenerates.*

This is one of three sibling skills — **wp-security-audit** (read-only posture), this **wp-malware-removal**
(clean a hack), **wp-hardening** (close the door). They share the gateway contract in
`references/gateway.md`.

## What this catches that in-WordPress scanners miss (the edge)

Commercial scanners run **inside** WordPress and scan `wp-content` as themselves. Real modern attacks
defeat that — in 2023, 58,848 infected sites had a security plugin installed *before* infection, and 14%

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add adityaarsharma/wordpress-malware-removal/wp-malware-removal@sha256:7e653317749704e5

The 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.
