It’s the weekend, time to work on your next WordPress plugin, but are you following the right security practices? At this year’s WordCamp San Francisco, core developers Mark Jaquith and Jon Cave, along with developer and author Brad Williams, covered some of the best security practices for plugin development and offered some real-life examples of just how easy it is to turn a world-class plugin into a crippling vulnerability.
“One of the greatest things about WordPress plugins is they can do anything, and one of the most frightening things about WordPress plugins is they can do anything.” ~ Mark Jaquith
