Research Description
Wordfence Security (v8.1.4) is one of the most widely deployed WordPress security plugins, combining an endpoint Web Application Firewall (WAF), malware scanning, login hardening (including 2FA), and centralized monitoring capabilities through Wordfence Central. Because a security plugin operates at the most sensitive layers of a WordPress site—authentication flows, request filtering, filesystem integrity checks, and threat detection—its own code integrity and safety are absolutely crucial. That’s why Wordfence Security v8.1.4 achieving CleanTalk Plugin Security Certification (PSC-2026-64604) matters: it indicates the plugin has been audited and validated to meet strong secure-coding expectations and to resist major exploit classes that commonly affect WordPress plugins.
