How to protect a WordPress site from malicious plugins?
-
What can it be done to prevent a plugin developed by a 3rd party from maliciously leaking sensitive data?
For example, say I install an ill-intentioned plugin that sends my wp-config.php to a malicious site.
I guess this kind of protection needs to be provided by either the webserver or the OS. Ideally a way to block all incoming/outgoing connections to the Internet from within the plugin folder. Is there a way to accomplish that?
