ClassicPress inherits much of the WordPress execution model (plugins, themes, and PHP runtime). The highest risks are plugin supply-chain exposure and weak wp-config hardening.
¶ 1) Protect secrets and administrative access
- set strong auth salts and DB credentials in wp-config.php
- disable file editing in admin with DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT
¶ 2) Control extensions and update cadence
- keep core, plugins, and themes updated from trusted sources only
- remove inactive plugins and themes to reduce attack surface
¶ 3) Harden runtime and deployment perimeter
- enforce least privilege for admin and editor roles and protect wp-admin with WAF and rate limiting
- block PHP execution in upload directories
