My WP host and Malcare flagged this as a vulnerable plugin
I found the plugin didn't do much anyway. Missed attacks with no alerts. I found out site was hacked over and over the hard way (site down, cloaked pages). I'd skip this one. And, it just may be part of the problem.

Aug 25, 2026Hi, sorry this was a frustrating experience.
Host scanners and MalCare often flag Security Ninja because our vulnerability database includes public CVE text, so phrases like wp-config.php show up in those files. That is a false positive, not malware in the plugin. From version 5.294 we store that database compressed so those scanners stop tripping on it. If you are on an older build, please...

Fast, responsive developer
Bought this for ongoing WordPress security audits across client sites, and it's held up well beyond the checklist-scanning basics. What really impressed me was reporting a couple of false positives and a confusing auto-fixer bug directly to the developer. They responded within less than 24 hours, and the fixes shipped in the very next update.
As someone who isn't a security specialist by trade, having a tool that's both genuinely useful for surfacing real issues, AND backed by a developer who's actively maintaining and improving it based on real user reports, made a big difference in how much I trust it now. Good value, and even better support behind it!

Aug 25, 2026Thanks werner89. Glad the audits are holding up on client sites, and that the false-positive and auto-fixer fixes landed quickly. Reports like yours make a real difference. Happy to dig in if anything else comes up.

Works well as a base security plugin
WP Security Ninja stands out with a balanced and clear mix of features. It works well as an all-in-one solution but remains simple enough to combine with tools like Patchstack without feeling overwhelming. I haven’t seen that with any other plugin.

Aug 3, 2026Thank you for the thoughtful review! You’ve described exactly what we aim for with WP Security Ninja: a strong, practical security foundation without unnecessary complexity.
It’s also great to hear that it works well alongside a specialized service like Patchstack. WordPress security is rarely one-size-fits-all, and we want users to have the flexibility to combine tools where it makes...

No support (impossible to get to, no replies), Didnt detect a basic malware etc
Am surprised by the high rating! I had multiple issues. They did reply to my first email and promised an update (which came) but then I couldn't log into their website (am blocked).
Tried emailing them multiple times, they never seem to reply!
Worst part: I got rid of Wordfence and Installed this. The very next day my site was hacked (coincidence) even though I had almost all security features enabled. I scanned my site and their scanner didnt detect ANY malware! (I also emailed them the code and apparently its a basic malware). Had to use AI (gemini and gpt) to help me get rid of the malware.
I did upload the file on a backup site and Wordfence and Sucury (free versions) immediatly caught it! Paid Security Ninja didn't!
Had high hopes

Aug 3, 2026Thank you for taking the time to write this, and I am sorry for the experience you had.
On support: you are right that getting through to us was harder than it should have been. Some of your early messages did not reach our helpdesk, and our site login was blocked for you by Cloudflare for a period. That is on us, not on you. We have been working through your case by email since then, and I want...
