## Description

ScanForge Database Security helps WordPress administrators find and remove malicious
code injected into the database. It scans common WordPress database tables for known
malware patterns including traffic hijacking scripts, base64 encoded payloads, web
shells, and other malicious injections.

#### Features

 * Scans wp_posts, wp_options, wp_postmeta, wp_usermeta, and wp_comments tables
 * Detects 15+ known malware patterns
 * Clean individual rows or all threats at once
 * Export scan results as CSV report
 * Simple and easy to use admin interface
 * No external service required — runs entirely on your server
 * Follows WordPress coding standards

#### Detected Threats

 * Traffic hijacking scripts (e.g. searchranktraffic.live)
 * Nulled plugin backdoors (e.g. wordpressnull.org)
 * Base64 encoded payloads
 * Obfuscated eval() injections
 * Dynamic script injections
 * Tracking cookie injections
 * Character code obfuscation
 * Shell execution attempts (shell_exec, passthru)
 * Web shells (FilesMan, c99shell, r57shell)

#### Important Notice

This plugin helps clean database infections but it does NOT prevent reinfection 
if the source of the malware (such as nulled/pirated plugins or themes) is still
installed. Always remove nulled software and use legitimate licensed plugins to 
permanently fix infections.

#### Usage

 1. Go to **ScanForge Database Security** in your WordPress admin menu
 2. Click **Scan Database**
 3. Review the threats found
 4. Click **Clean All** or clean rows individually
 5. Export a CSV report if needed
 6. Run the scan again to verify everything is clean

## FAQ

### Will this plugin prevent future infections?

No. This plugin cleans existing infections. To prevent future infections you must
remove all nulled/pirated plugins and themes, keep all software updated, and use
a firewall plugin like Wordfence.

### Is it safe to use Clean All?

Always take a full database backup before using Clean All. The plugin removes malicious
script blocks while preserving your legitimate content, but a backup is always recommended.

### What tables does it scan?

It scans: wp_posts, wp_options, wp_postmeta, wp_usermeta, and wp_comments.

### Can I export the scan results?

Yes. After scanning, click the Export Report button to download a CSV file of all
threats found.

### Does it work with custom table prefixes?

Yes. The plugin uses WordPress’s $wpdb object which automatically handles custom
table prefixes.
