## Description

TeraServer Clinic is the on-site agent for the TeraServer Clinic service (wpclinic.
ai). It connects your
 WordPress installation to a TeraServer Clinic account and,
depending on your plan, scans for malicious code, keeps WordPress core/plugins/themes
updated, backs up your files, and applies AI-assisted cleanup when a threat is found.

The **free scan works standalone** with just a connection token — no payment required.

Paid plans add faster/scheduled autoscan, automatic updates, off-site backups, AI-
assisted repair of infected files, and monitoring across more sites.

#### Features

 * **Malware scan**: walks `wp-content` (uploads first) looking for PHP dropped 
   in the
    uploads folder, double file extensions, known webshell/backdoor signatures,
   obfuscated eval() calls, and cryptomining scripts. Also checks the database for
   recently created administrator accounts and posts/options containing injected/
   obfuscated code.
 * **Security hardening**: one-click, reversible fixes for common misconfigurations
   (
   missing security headers, XML-RPC exposure, user enumeration, exposed readme/
   info files, file editor access, directory listing) plus a built-in login-URL 
   cloak.
 * **Automatic updates** (paid plans): keeps plugins, themes and WordPress core 
   current,
    each update guarded by an automatic backup, a post-update health check,
   and a rollback if anything breaks. A manual scan/update can also be triggered
   from the dashboard.
 * **Autoscan**: periodic scanning (daily or weekly depending on plan) via WordPress
   cron.
 * **Backups** (paid plans): a small “repair set” backup before any automated fix,
   an
    on-demand full-site backup, and an opt-in weekly full backup — all stored
   off-site on TeraServer Clinic’s backup storage, not on your own hosting.
 * **PHP compatibility report**: analyzes the plugins and themes actually in use
   to
    recommend the highest PHP version your site can safely run.
 * **AI-assisted cleanup** (paid plans): when malware is found, a proposed fix is
   generated
    off-site and applied through the plugin’s own audited code — never
   as a remote shell — always preceded by a backup and followed by a health check
   with automatic rollback if anything breaks.

This WordPress.org edition receives its own updates exclusively through the WordPress.
org
 plugin directory, like any other listed plugin — it does not use a custom update
mechanism for itself.

### External services

This plugin is a thin client: on its own, without a connection, it does nothing.
To do
 anything useful it must be connected — via a one-time connection token generated
in your TeraServer Clinic account — to the TeraServer Clinic service, using an API
key issued to your site. No data described below is sent anywhere until you complete
that connection step, which itself shows this same disclosure and links to the Terms
and Privacy Policy before you submit a token.

Once connected, this plugin communicates with the TeraServer Clinic backend for 
the following,
 each described with what is sent and when:

 * **Connecting/licensing.** When you paste a connection token, the plugin sends
   your
    site’s home URL and the plugin version to exchange that token for a per-
   site API key and your plan’s entitlements. This happens once at connection time,
   and again if you move the site to a different TeraServer Clinic account.
 * **Periodic sync.** Roughly twice daily (WordPress cron) and right after connecting,
   the
    plugin sends your site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version,
   the current login URL, and a full inventory of installed plugins/themes (name,
   version, active/inactive, available updates) so the service can tell you what
   needs attention and, on plans that include it, apply updates.
 * **Scan reports.** After every scan (free tier included), the plugin sends the
   list of
    findings — file paths/locations, finding type, and severity/detail text,
   not full file contents — so they show up in your TeraServer Clinic dashboard 
   and can trigger email alerts.
 * **Malware-signature confirmation.** During any scan (free tier included), if 
   a small,
    bounded set of files (at most 25 files, 1 MB each) already matches 
   a local suspicious-pattern check, the plugin sends the **full contents of just
   those flagged files to the TeraServer Clinic service for a second, server-side
   confirmation pass. Files that don’t match a local pattern first are never sent
   this way.
 * **Off-site backups (paid plans).** Manual and scheduled full-site backups, and
   the
    small “repair set” backup taken automatically before any destructive action(
   delete, repair, update), are uploaded as a zip to TeraServer Clinic’s backup 
   storage, kept for a limited retention window so a site can be restored.
 * **AI-assisted repair (paid plans).** When you request a fix for detected malware,
   the
    **full contents of the specific flagged file(s)** (never your whole site)
   are sent to the TeraServer Clinic service, which returns a proposed cleaned version.
   That content is used only to produce the fix and is not retained afterwards. 
   The plugin applies the returned patch itself, using its own code — the fix is
   never executed as a remote script — and always backs up first and rolls back 
   automatically if a post-fix health check fails.
 * **Admin email breach check.** On a connected site, the plugin sends your WordPress
   
   admin email address to the TeraServer Clinic service, which checks it against
   known public data breaches and returns whether/how many breaches matched (not
   the breach data itself).
 * **Plugin/theme alternative & compatibility suggestions.** The plugin sends the
   slugs and
    versions of installed plugins/themes so the service can suggest actively-
   maintained alternatives or flag PHP/WordPress compatibility issues — no file 
   contents are sent for this.

Separately, and independent of the TeraServer Clinic connection above:

 * **Cloudflare Turnstile (opt-in, your own keys).** If you choose to turn on the
   optional
    captcha/bot-protection feature on the Security tab, you paste your 
   own free Cloudflare Turnstile sitekey and secret key (obtained directly from 
   Cloudflare, not from TeraServer Clinic). From then on, the login/comment/registration
   pages you enabled it for load Cloudflare’s Turnstile script (challenges.cloudflare.
   com), and each submission’s response token is sent to Cloudflare’s siteverify
   endpoint for validation. No data goes to TeraServer Clinic for this feature —
   only to Cloudflare, using your own account. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy (
   https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/) for their handling of this data. If
   left off (the default), no data is ever sent to Cloudflare.

All of the above only happens after you connect the plugin with a valid API key;
a
 disconnected/inactive install sends nothing. See the TeraServer Clinic Terms 
of Service (https://wpclinic.ai/legal/terminos) and Privacy Policy (https://wpclinic.
ai/legal/privacidad) for the full data-handling and retention terms.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/teraserver-clinic`, or install it through
    the WordPress plugin screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to the new “TeraServer Clinic” menu item in your WordPress admin.
 4. Create (or sign in to) a TeraServer Clinic account at wpclinic.ai, go to your account’s
    Plugin page, and copy the connection token.
 5. Paste the token into the “Connect your site” form and submit.

## FAQ

### Is this plugin free?

The plugin itself is free and licensed under the GPL. What it can do on your site

depends on your TeraServer Clinic account plan: some features (autoscan cadence,
auto-update, off-site backups, AI-assisted cleanup) are limited to paid plans; a
scan is available on the free tier.

### Do I need an account?

Yes. The plugin requires a TeraServer Clinic account and a connection token to do
anything —
 without a valid connection, it stays inert and sends no data anywhere.

### What data does it send, and where?

See “External services” above for the itemized list. In short: once connected, site

identity/version/inventory and scan-finding metadata are always sent to the TeraServer
Clinic service; full file contents are only sent for a bounded, already-flagged 
set of suspicious files (signature confirmation, on any tier) or for paid backup/
AI-cleanup features, and are not retained beyond producing that backup or fix.

### What runs on TeraServer Clinic’s server versus on my site?

Scanning for malware, running WordPress/plugin/theme updates, and building backups
all
 run locally on your own site (this plugin does the work). The TeraServer Clinic
server keeps track of your entitlements/plan, stores scan history and off-site backups,
confirms suspicious files against its own signature database, and — for AI-assisted
cleanup — analyzes a flagged file and returns a proposed patch, which this plugin
then applies locally using its own audited code (never a remote shell).

### How does this plugin update itself?

This WordPress.org edition updates exactly like any other plugin listed on
 WordPress.
org — through the WordPress.org plugin directory, using WordPress’s normal update
mechanism. It does not check any other server for its own updates.

## Changelog

#### 0.4.72

 * Fixed: the “PHP still executes in uploads” fix instructions now detect your actual
   web
    server (Apache, nginx, LiteSpeed, or OpenLiteSpeed) and control panel instead
   of assuming nginx and Plesk — OpenLiteSpeed (common with CyberPanel) does not
   read .htaccess at all and needs a different fix, which is now shown.
 * Added: the Dashboard now always shows your detected web server (with version,
   when your
    server discloses it) and control panel, even when there is no problem
   to report.

#### 0.4.70

 * Cleanup: fixed a memory exhaustion that could stall restoring a large quarantined
   database
    item — restore now streams the snapshot row-by-row instead of loading
   it all at once.

#### 0.4.64

 * Cleanup: fixed the quarantine list not refreshing after an action, and failures
   now show
    as failures instead of a false “Done”.
 * Cleanup: database cleanup no longer requires a paid off-site backup — it works
   on all
    plans using a local, reversible snapshot.
 * Cleanup: warns if the quarantine folder is reachable from the internet on Nginx.

#### 0.4.63

 * Auto-updates, cleanup, and local backups are now free on all plans.
 * Consistent plugin naming throughout the admin UI.
 * Assets/scripts are now properly enqueued, and plugin writes moved to the uploads
   directory.

#### 0.4.62

 * Fixed the Cleanup tab not opening when clicked (it fell back to the Dashboard).

#### 0.4.61

 * WordPress.org submission build: the self-hosted update mechanism (used only by
   the
    direct-download edition of this plugin) is fully disabled in this edition;
   updates for this edition come only from the WordPress.org plugin directory.
 * Added an in-plugin external-services disclosure notice on the Dashboard tab, 
   and this
    readme’s “External services” section.
