The WordPress Security Crisis

WordPress powers 43% of the web, but its plugin ecosystem and EAV database architecture create an ever-expanding attack surface that grows more dangerous every year.

7,966 Vulnerabilities

In 2024, 7,966 CVEs were disclosed in the WordPress ecosystem - a 34% increase year-over-year. That's 22 new vulnerabilities every day.

Your attack surface grows daily

96% Plugin-Based

96% of vulnerabilities come from plugins. Every plugin you add is another unaudited codebase with its own security posture - or lack thereof.

Plugins are the weakest link

Critical Attack Vectors

SQL Injection (20.64%), XSS (~50%), and Arbitrary File Uploads dominate the vulnerability landscape.

PHP's loose typing enables exploits

The wp_postmeta EAV Disaster

WordPress stores almost everything in wp_postmeta as LONGTEXT key-value pairs. This "Entity-Attribute-Value" pattern means:

  • No type safety - prices, dates, and booleans all stored as strings
  • No referential integrity - orphaned data, no foreign key constraints
  • Catastrophic performance - JOINs across millions of rows for simple queries
  • HIPAA/SOC 2 nightmares - audit trails and access controls nearly impossible
-- WordPress EAV nightmare
SELECT
p.ID, p.post_title,
pm1.meta_value AS price,
-- ^ stored as LONGTEXT!
pm2.meta_value AS stock
FROM
wp_posts p
LEFT JOIN
wp_postmeta pm1 ON p.ID = pm1.post_id
AND pm1.meta_key = '_price'
LEFT JOIN
wp_postmeta pm2 ON p.ID = pm2.post_id
AND pm2.meta_key = '_stock'
-- This runs for EVERY product query
-- 10,000 products = millions of JOINs

Quome's Agentic Refactoring

Upload your WordPress database schema. Our AI analyzes and reverse-engineers your business logic, then generates a secure FastAPI + PostgreSQL architecture in 90 days.

1. Schema Upload & Analysis

Upload your WordPress database export. Quome's AI reverse-engineers the business domain from your wp_postmeta chaos - identifying entities, relationships, and data types.

2. PostgreSQL Schema Generation

Generates a normalized PostgreSQL schema - flattening EAV to properly typed tables with foreign key constraints, indexes, and JSONB for truly flexible data.

3. FastAPI Application Scaffold

Creates a complete FastAPI application with Pydantic models for validation, SQLAlchemy ORM, async endpoints, and built-in authentication patterns.

4. 90-Day Migration Cycle

Complete migration including ETL pipelines, data validation, parallel running period, and cutover - all with your team maintaining full control.

Why FastAPI + PostgreSQL

Strict Typing vs PHP's Loose Typing

Python's type hints + Pydantic validation catch errors at compile time, not runtime

Pydantic Blocks Injection

Validation at the API boundary rejects malformed input before it touches your database

Foreign Key Constraints

PostgreSQL enforces data integrity at the database level - no more orphaned records

JSONB for Flexible Data

Need schema flexibility? PostgreSQL JSONB gives it without EAV performance penalties

Async/ASGI Performance

Handle thousands of concurrent connections efficiently - no PHP process spawning overhead

Security Quantified

Moving from WordPress PHP to FastAPI Python eliminates entire classes of vulnerabilities through architectural decisions, not patches.

~99%
SQL Injection
Eliminated via ORM abstraction - parameterized queries by default, not by discipline
~95%
XSS Attacks
Decoupled API returns JSON - no HTML rendering, no template injection vectors
100%
File Upload RCE
Mitigated via S3/GCS signed URLs - files never touch your application server
Enforced
Access Control
Dependency injection pattern enforces authentication on every endpoint

Architecture Comparison

Security Aspect WordPress/PHP FastAPI/PostgreSQL
Type Safety Loose typing, runtime errors Static typing + Pydantic
SQL Queries String concatenation common ORM parameterized by default
Input Validation Manual, inconsistent Automatic via Pydantic schemas
Database Integrity EAV, no constraints Foreign keys, proper types
Authentication Plugin-dependent Built-in dependency injection
