## Description

Ladon reports which plugins, themes and core version run on this site to your Ladon
account at ladon.hackindex.io. Ladon matches them against the Wordfence vulnerability
feed and alerts your team when a component you run has a known vulnerability. Premium
plugins and themes that are not on wordpress.org are matched the same way.

The plugin only talks outward. It registers no public REST routes, and the Ladon
server never reaches back to your site.

**What is sent**

 * WordPress core version and PHP version
 * The slug, version and active state of each installed plugin
 * The slug, version and active state of each installed theme
 * The site URL and name

Nothing is sent before you connect. On disconnect the site token is removed.

**When it is sent**

 * When a plugin is activated, deactivated or updated
 * When a theme is switched
 * Once a day as a heartbeat

An unchanged inventory is skipped, so a quiet site sends almost nothing.

**External service**

This plugin connects your site to Ladon, a service operated by HackIndex at [ladon.hackindex.io](https://ladon.hackindex.io).
It is required for the plugin to function: the plugin reports the inventory listed
above and reads back this site’s status. The service matches the versions against
a vulnerability feed and notifies your team. All processing happens on the Ladon
side; the plugin only reports and reads.

Data is sent to `https://ladon.hackindex.io/api/v1` only after an administrator 
connects the site, and only the data listed above. The site is never contacted from
the Ladon side.

Connecting a site takes three steps: sign in, pick a team and confirm.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Go to Settings  Ladon in wp-admin.
 3. Click Connect to Ladon, sign in with your Ladon account, pick a team and confirm.

## FAQ

### Does Ladon scan my site?

No. The server never reaches your site. The plugin reports the installed versions
and Ladon matches them against its vulnerability feed.

### Is my data sent anywhere before I connect?

No. Nothing leaves the site until an administrator connects it to a Ladon team.

### How do I stop it?

Disconnect under Settings  Ladon, or deactivate the plugin. Disconnecting revokes
the site token.
