Lumiverse Security Watchdog Lite

Lumiverse Security Watchdog Lite

Lumiverse Security Watchdog Lite is a lightweight yet powerful WordPress security plugin designed to detect early signs of compromise and reduce common attack surfaces.
It runs automated background scans and alerts you when something suspicious is detected.

What it monitors

✔ Malware signatures (JS & PHP)
Scans files for known malware patterns including injectors, obfuscated scripts, and common webshell families.

✔ Changed JavaScript files
Detects modified .js files and analyzes them for suspicious behavior.

✔ Live Watch Mode
Adds a lightweight metadata watcher for risky files. In Lite it tracks up to 3000 files and monitors uploads, plugins, themes, wp-content root and optional WordPress core paths.

✔ Plugins (new, deleted, suspicious)
– Detects newly installed or removed plugins
– Flags suspicious plugin names (e.g. random/hash-based folders)
– Detects known fake/suspicious plugin families from the remote threat feed

✔ Core integrity checks
– Flags important WordPress core files modified recently
– Scans recent core PHP files for suspicious patterns

✔ Uploads directory scanning
– Detects PHP files inside uploads (common malware location)
– Detects executable files (php, phtml, phar, etc.)

✔ Admin user monitoring
– Detects new admin accounts
– Flags suspicious admin usernames or invalid emails

✔ Database backdoor indicators
– Detects suspicious entries used by hidden admin exploits

This plugin does NOT automatically clean malware.

It is a detection and monitoring tool that helps you:
– detect compromises early
– understand what changed
– take action before damage spreads
