Welcome back to the Patchstack Weekly security update! This update is for week 14 of 2022 and I will talk about the first 5 steps to a secure WordPress.

This week has a lot of vulnerability news to cover, and I will be sharing it as a 3-2-1 punch of 3 plugins that received no patch for security bugs, 2 premium plugins that patch critical security bugs, and 1 public exploit already being shared for a Local File Inclusion vulnerability.

In this week's knowledge share, I will talk about the first 5 steps of WordPress security. These steps are not the only steps you should take for security, they are the steps you should be taking when you are first setting up a WordPress website from scratch, to ensure it is secure from day 1. I will add a bonus step for bare basic security maintenance.
