Yablonsky Security 2.88.5 — WordPress Firewall, Malware Scanning & Login Protection

Local-first WordPress security with firewall protection, malware scanning, file integrity monitoring, login security, automated hardening, and optional AI assistance.

Yablonsky Security is a comprehensive WordPress security plugin designed to help website owners, developers, agencies, and WooCommerce businesses protect their websites while maintaining control over security decisions.

Its core security capabilities run locally within WordPress, without requiring external AI services or mandatory subscriptions.

Key Features

  • Web Application Firewall (WAF): Configurable firewall rules, suspicious request detection, traffic protection, and controlled responses.
  • Threat Intelligence & Forensics: Security event monitoring, reconnaissance detection, forensic evidence, and operational reporting.
  • Malware Scanning: File scanning, integrity monitoring, local quarantine, and controlled recovery tools.
  • Login & Account Security: Brute-force protection, rate limiting, CAPTCHA, TOTP two-factor authentication, and session management.
  • Security Hardening: Security headers, account protection, configuration safeguards, and administrator-controlled security settings.
  • Security Autopilot: Administrator-invoked security checks and guided hardening workflows.
  • Optional AI Assistance: AI-supported security reviews while keeping critical security decisions under administrator control.
  • Multilingual Administration: 36 bundled locale catalogs, with interface language following the WordPress administrator profile.
  • Independent Operation: Works without requiring Yablonsky SEO, Yablonsky Performance, or any other Yablonsky plugin.

What's Included in 2.88.5

The existing firewall enforcement policy remains unchanged.

This release includes the accepted local-first protection architecture, bundled localization resources, security monitoring, administrative controls, and recovery capabilities.
