Resumen

Security guidelines for WordPress plugin development: sanitization, validation, escaping (in PHP and in admin JavaScript), nonces, capabilities over objects, multisite privilege boundaries, SQL injection prevention, XSS protection, and CSRF mitigation. Use it when writing or reviewing any plugin code that handles user input, prints dynamic output, registers AJAX or REST endpoints, checks permissions, writes files shared by a network, or suppresses PHPCS security sniffs. Based on official WordPress Developer Resources and on a post-incident review of CVE-2026-81754.

WordPress plugin security

When to use

Use this skill when:

Developing new WordPress plugins or themes
Reviewing existing code for security vulnerabilities
Handling user input (forms, AJAX, REST API)
Outputting dynamic content to the browser
Interacting with the database
Creating admin pages or settings
Implementing AJAX or REST endpoints
Processing file uploads

Scope: audit the surface, not the diff

Reviewing only what changed is how a flaw survives for years while every release passes its security gate. Two rules make the difference:

If the change touches an escaper, a validator, a capability check or an is_*_request() helper, the unit of review is the whole function and every one of its callers, not the lines of the diff. Ask "does this function do the right thing for all the contexts it is used in?", not "is this new value handled correctly?". In the incident behind these notes, a review looked at exactly the broken escaper, named it in the release notes and approved it, because it followed the path of the new value (which went to text position) instead of auditing the function and its other eleven uses in attribute position.
A review that only follows new data cannot find old flaws. Rotate: each review takes one whole subsystem and reads it end to end, even if nothing in it changed. And state in writing what the review did not cover, so the next one starts there instead of repeating the same blind spot.

Core security principles

The security mantra

Sanitize early
Escape late
Always validate
Never trust user input

Key concepts

Sanitization: Clean/filter input data as soon as it is received
Validation: Verify data matches expected format/values (prefer over sanitization)
Escaping: Secure output data before rendering to prevent XSS
Nonces: Protect against CSRF attacks on forms and URLs
Capabilities: Verify user has permission to perform actions

Sanitization

Sanitize input data immediately upon receipt. Use the most specific function available.

Sanitization functions

Function	Use case
`sanitize_text_field()`	Single-line text input
`sanitize_textarea_field()`	Multi-line text input
`sanitize_email()`	Email addresses
`sanitize_file_name()`	File names
`sanitize_hex_color()`	Color values with hash
`sanitize_hex_color_no_hash()`	Color values without hash
`sanitize_html_class()`	HTML class names
`sanitize_key()`	Keys (lowercase alphanumeric, dashes, underscores)
`sanitize_meta()`	Meta values
`sanitize_mime_type()`	MIME types
`sanitize_option()`	Option values
`sanitize_sql_orderby()`	SQL ORDER BY clauses
`sanitize_title()`	Titles/slugs
`sanitize_title_with_dashes()`	URL-friendly titles
`sanitize_user()`	Usernames
`sanitize_url()`	URLs for storage
`wp_kses()`	HTML with allowed tags
`wp_kses_post()`	HTML allowed in posts

Sanitization example

// Sanitize a text field from POST
$title = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['title'] ?? '' );

// Sanitize email
$email = sanitize_email( $_POST['email'] ?? '' );

// Sanitize URL for database storage
$url = sanitize_url( $_POST['website'] ?? '' );

// Sanitize textarea
$description = sanitize_textarea_field( $_POST['description'] ?? '' );

Important notes on sanitization

Never use escape functions for sanitization - they serve different purposes
And never use sanitization as escaping, which is the direction that actually causes breaches. No sanitize_* function prepares a value for a specific output context. sanitize_text_field() strips tags, so the value looks clean, but it does not touch quotes: a "sanitized" string can still close an HTML attribute and open a new one. Sanitizing is for storing, escaping is for printing, and the correct escape depends on where the value lands. Any review reasoning that stops at "this is already sanitized" has not finished
When using filter_var(), always specify a sanitizing filter (not FILTER_DEFAULT)
Process only the specific keys you need, not the entire $_POST/$_GET array

// CORRECT: Specify sanitizing filter
$post_id = filter_input( INPUT_GET, 'post_id', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT );

// WRONG: No filter or FILTER_DEFAULT does not sanitize
$post_id = filter_input( INPUT_GET, 'post_id' ); // Insecure!

Validation

Validation verifies data matches expected patterns. Prefer validation over sanitization when possible.

Validation philosophies

Safelist (recommended)

Accept only known, trusted values:

$allowed_values = array( 'draft', 'pending', 'publish' );

// Use strict comparison (third parameter = true)
if ( in_array( $status, $allowed_values, true ) ) {
    // Valid
} else {
    wp_die( 'Invalid status' );
}

Format detection

Test data format and reject if invalid:

// Check alphanumeric only
if ( ! ctype_alnum( $data ) ) {
    wp_die( 'Invalid format' );
}

// Check against regex
if ( ! preg_match( '/^\d{5}(-\d{4})?$/', $zip_code ) ) {
    wp_die( 'Invalid ZIP code format' );
}

Type checking

Always use strict comparison (===) to prevent type juggling attacks:

// CORRECT: Strict comparison
if ( 1 === $user_input ) {
    // Exactly integer 1
}

// WRONG: Loose comparison - "1 malicious" == 1 evaluates to true
if ( 1 == $user_input ) {
    // Vulnerable!
}

Validation functions

Function	Purpose
`is_email()`	Validate email format
`term_exists()`	Check if taxonomy term exists
`username_exists()`	Check if username exists
`validate_file()`	Validate file path (not existence)
`is_array()`	Check if value is array
`absint()`	Return absolute integer
`in_array( $val, $arr, true )`	Check value in array (strict)

Validation example

function ayudawp_is_valid_us_zip( string $zip ): bool {
    if ( empty( $zip ) ) {
        return false;
    }

    if ( strlen( trim( $zip ) ) > 10 ) {
        return false;
    }

    if ( ! preg_match( '/^\d{5}(-?\d{4})?$/', $zip ) ) {
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}

// Usage
if ( isset( $_POST['zip'] ) && ayudawp_is_valid_us_zip( $_POST['zip'] ) ) {
    $zip = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['zip'] );
    // Process valid ZIP
}

Escaping

Escape output data as late as possible, immediately when echoing.

Escaping functions

Function	Use case
`esc_html()`	Text inside HTML elements
`esc_attr()`	Values inside HTML attributes
`esc_url()`	URLs in href, src attributes
`esc_url_raw()`	URLs for database storage (NOT escaping)
`esc_js()`	Inline JavaScript values
`esc_textarea()`	Content inside textarea
`esc_xml()`	XML content
`wp_kses()`	HTML with custom allowed tags
`wp_kses_post()`	HTML allowed in post content
`wp_kses_data()`	HTML allowed in comments

Escaping examples

// Text inside HTML element
<h4><?php echo esc_html( $title ); ?></h4>

// URL in attribute
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $link ); ?>">Link</a>

// Value in attribute
<input type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $value ); ?>">

// Image source
<img src="<?php echo esc_url( $image_url ); ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( $alt ); ?>">

// Inline JavaScript
<div onclick="doSomething('<?php echo esc_js( $param ); ?>')">

// Textarea content
<textarea><?php echo esc_textarea( $content ); ?></textarea>

// HTML content (preserves allowed HTML)
<div><?php echo wp_kses_post( $html_content ); ?></div>

Escape late pattern

Always escape at the point of output:

// WRONG: Escaping early
$url = esc_url( $url );
$text = esc_html( $text );
echo '<a href="' . $url . '">' . $text . '</a>';

// CORRECT: Escaping late
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $url ) . '">' . esc_html( $text ) . '</a>';

Echoing the return value of a helper that already escapes

The wordpress.org review team rejects echo my_helper() even if my_helper() already escapes every value internally. Late escaping must be visible at the echo call site. There are three valid options depending on what the helper returns:

// HELPER RETURNS SIMPLE HTML (spans, links, basic tags)
// Wrap the echo in wp_kses_post():
echo wp_kses_post( ayudawp_render_status_badge( $post_id ) );

// HELPER RETURNS HTML THAT wp_kses_post() WOULD STRIP (forms, inputs, selects, buttons)
// Refactor the helper to echo directly (void return) and keep a string wrapper
// only for callers that genuinely need a return value (shortcodes that return).
function ayudawp_render_form( $args = array() ) {
    // ... uses esc_attr, esc_html, esc_url internally, but echoes the markup ...
    ?>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo esc_url( admin_url( 'admin-post.php' ) ); ?>">
        <input type="text" name="ayudawp_field" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $args['value'] ); ?>">
    </form>
    <?php
}

function ayudawp_get_form_html( $args = array() ) {
    ob_start();
    ayudawp_render_form( $args );
    return ob_get_clean();
}

// Then the endpoint caller just calls the void version:
ayudawp_render_form( $args );        // No echo, no wrapping needed.

// And the shortcode caller uses the string wrapper:
return ayudawp_get_form_html( $args );

// HELPER RETURNS HTML WITH MIXED ALLOWED TAGS
// Use wp_kses() with an explicit allowlist:
$allowed = array(
    'select' => array( 'name' => true, 'id' => true, 'class' => true ),
    'option' => array( 'value' => true, 'selected' => true ),
);
echo wp_kses( wp_dropdown_pages( array( 'echo' => 0, /* ... */ ) ), $allowed );

The "escaped internally" comment with a phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput.OutputNotEscaped is a rejection trigger in the manual review, regardless of whether the helper does escape correctly. Refactor instead of suppressing.

Escaping with localization

Use combined escape + localization functions:

// Escape + translate
echo esc_html__( 'Hello World', 'text-domain' );
esc_html_e( 'Hello World', 'text-domain' );

// With context
echo esc_html_x( 'Post', 'noun', 'text-domain' );

// For attributes
echo esc_attr__( 'Submit', 'text-domain' );
esc_attr_e( 'Submit', 'text-domain' );

Available combined functions:

esc_html__(), esc_html_e(), esc_html_x()
esc_attr__(), esc_attr_e(), esc_attr_x()

Important escaping notes

Never use __() or _e() without escaping - they do not escape output
esc_url_raw() is NOT an escaping function - it's for sanitizing URLs for storage
Use wp_kses_post() or wp_kses() for HTML output, NOT esc_html() which strips HTML
When escaping HTML attributes, escape the entire value, not parts

// CORRECT: Escape the whole attribute value
echo '<div id="' . esc_attr( $prefix . '-box-' . $id ) . '">';

// WRONG: Escaping parts separately
echo '<div id="' . esc_attr( $prefix ) . '-box-' . esc_attr( $id ) . '">';

Custom HTML escaping with wp_kses

$allowed_html = array(
    'a'      => array(
        'href'  => array(),
        'title' => ar
