It needs to be installed on a web server in order to create and serve web pages. The web page which you want to host should be made using the wordpress.com package. Or we can say that WordPress is a repository where you can store and retrieve customized web content. WordPress is coded in PHP programming language with MySQL database integrated into the backend.
Authentication and Authorization Testing – Ensure that users in the environment follow the Principle of Least Privilege, are protected by robust multi-factor authentication policies, and that known ‘bad passwords' are not used.
WordPress Architecture
- WordPress.org
- WordPress.com
- A web hosting service
Worpress.org is at the core which contains a server with a MySQL database and code running over a PHP engine that handles all the requests.
If there are multiple requests from both wordpress.org and wordpress.com the web hosting service can manage resources from a WordPress dashboard using a jetpack.
Also, WordPress can interact with the resources via a rest API with every type of device.
Whenever a request comes to the WordPress core which acts as a controller and determines which view to load and sends the queries to view then the view determines which resources to load according to the query parameters.

Methods
Practices to Secure WordPress Website
Though WordPress is the most used framework by many commercial websites for deployment, hackers have started taking advantage of the loopholes in the framework to gain access, so here are some practices to make sure you have a secure WordPress website.
Choose a good hosting company
Instead of choosing a free hosting provider, try to use a hosting provider that provides layered security, as it will protect against common attacks.Install plugins for enhancing security
It is not always viable to regularly check for threats in WordPress, instead use a security plugin such as sucuri.net which provides security features such as monitoring, malware scanning, auditing, and incident response management.Always use a strong password
Try to create a complex password that contains at least one alphanumeric character, a special character, and at least 8 characters long. Or you can use an auto-generated password to secure your WordPress website.Use SSL certificate to secure sensitive data
Any hacker can also intercept the data during transit, so for any website which processes sensitive user data such as credit card numbers, credentials, use an SSL certificate to encrypt the data in transit, you just need to pay some cost to install a certificate for your website.Restrict the number of requests to the websites
In WordPress, there is a feature to allow limitless login attempts to the user but this might open the site to brute force attacks select the number of login attempts to be made, it will temporarily block the user after the login attempts are made, keep the number at most 2 or 3 attempts.Regularly update your WordPress
Updating your WordPress framework will help you patch common loopholes as the updates are released.Top 10 Vulnerabilities in WordPress

Here are some methods used for security testing any WordPress website which can help us identify many vulnerabilities
- Try to look for outdated plugins as most of the plugins are not secure and are an easy target for attackers
- By default, we can perform user enumeration to list out all the WordPress usernames to identify any critical username whose access could lead to critical outcomes
- Try to access the critical files of any WordPress website to make sure any unauthorized user cannot access them by performing directory traversal attacks
- Since WordPress has a MySQL database in its backend so any attacker can also perform SQL injection attacks to access the sensitive data stored in the database so try to perform SQL injection on critical databases of the WordPress website
- Try to find any services which are not required as they can be used as entry points by attackers to gain access
