sqlstring VS WordPress

As a security professional, I was horrified to find out that the maintainers don't consider this a security issue, though they did promise to take this seriously and change the API when they were made aware of it in 2014 (https://github.com/mysqljs/mysql/issues/731).

So I bumped an issue, noting this is all over HN, and offered to write a pull request for the API change proposed by the maintainers:

https://github.com/mysqljs/sqlstring/issues/60

Doug agreed to accept such a request, so I just sat down to figure out the code and a reasonable upgrade plan.

Three hours later, I proudly wrote Doug this email (pasting it here because the issue and codebase are locked to non-contributors so I had to send it via email):

OK, I have a draft pull request ready. Of course, it's a big change and I expect to get a lot of feedback and have a few rounds of back and forth and fixups before it is accepted.

This is the plan as I envision it:

* Release SqlString 3.0.0 that has a new allowObjectValues parameter defaulting to false. This is a new major, so it shouldn't break anybody's code.

Creating a high-performance website is essential in today’s digital age. Speed, efficiency, and a seamless user experience are the cornerstones of successful web development. This article explores how combining Next.js with WordPress can achieve these goals, providing a robust solution for developers looking to elevate their web projects.

WordPress as the backend headless CMS, offering a versatile content management foundation.

Open source CMS WordPress and Drupal introduced WYSIWYG editors and template customization to empower independent publishing but page building was still largely code-driven.

While specific CMS platforms were not directly listed in the sources as explicitly supporting Behat, it’s widely known in the development community that Behat can be integrated with several PHP-based CMS platforms. Drupal and _WordPress _are notable examples of PHP CMSs that support Behat testing, thanks to their flexible architecture and the availability of various plugins or modules that facilitate integration with Behat. For instance:

WordPress is the most popular CMS(Content Management System) among bloggers. The same fact has made WordPress more vulnerable to attacks by hackers. Especially for authentication vulnerabilities such as brute-force attacks.

I recent WordFence scan identified the plugin reCaptcha by BestWebSoft as a "critical" vulnerability adding that it has been removed from wordpress.org. Where can I find information as to why it was removed from wordpress.org or why it is a critical security vulnerability?

The Genshine Impact database site looks pretty custom, can't tell if there is any CMS involved. You could start with the tried and tested WordPress. I built my gaming site on WordPress, it's not as fancy as the site you linked but it has plenty of options and flexibility to build all sorts of sites.

Almost every host has one-click WordPress installs these days using either cPanel's WP Toolkit or Softaculous, so that should be a non-issue. You never have to visit wordpress.org if you go that route; the host is handling that for you. Watch Ferdy Korpershoek's videos on YouTube for tutorials on getting started with WordPress. Personally, I would not go with his hosting recommendations, however. I like iWebFusion, but there are other good recommendations over at /r/webhosting

I am on wordpress (commerce plan ) £55pm. wordpress.com is what I am using, however I have heard of wordpress.org also which requires more technical knolwedge which I am willing to invest in over the next 12 months.

wordpress.org requires that user input should be sanitized and validated, and output should be escaped, to prevent mischief by bad actors. This mantra is embedded in current wordpress.org plugin guidelines. Unfortunately older plugins may not comply, leaving them vulnerable. They always were vulnerable, but what's changed is the light has been shone on the issue by Patchman and others. Publicly available code can be scanned by both good and bad actors to detect where malware can be injected.
