Fixed
- Vulnerability Scanner - Local vulnerability database files are stored compressed so host malware scanners no longer false-positive on known-issue descriptions (e.g. wp-config). Thank you Lee.
- Compatibility - Imposter-prefixed vendor autoload no longer claims unprefixed chillerlan namespaces, fixing a fatal when LatePoint (and similar plugins) generate booking QR codes. Thank you Daniel.
- Core Scanner - Scheduled (cron) scans no longer fail with "Insufficient permissions". Manual scans were fine; background runs now complete as expected. Thank you Mirco.
- AI Security Advisor - Prevent a critical error on Overview when WordPress AI Client connector checks fail (e.g. TypeError from getModelMetadataMap). Admin stays usable; thank you Tyson.
- AI Security Advisor - WordPress Abilities register on plugin load so REST and other AI tools can discover them reliably.
- AI Security Advisor - Abilities load their data when invoked outside the Advisor screen (no fatal on REST/MCP calls).
- Vulnerability Scanner - Admin menu badge and other admin hot paths no longer load the full vulnerability database on every wp-admin request (could time out / 502 on slower hosts). Counts are served from cache; scans run in the background via WP-Cron. Thank you Christopher.
- Vulnerability Scanner - Opening Security Ninja no longer sync-downloads the vulnerability database when files are missing; updates are scheduled in the background. Pending scans no longer show a false "no vulnerabilities" message.
- Cloud Firewall (Pro) - "Only block these countries from login functionality" now works when "Prevent Banned IPs from Accessing the Site" is ON. Previously, country login-only could still full-site block via the visitor check path. Thank you Jamie.
Improved
- Cloud Firewall - Faster visitor checks with less DNS and disk work on each page load.
- Vulnerability Scanner - Lighter scheduled vulnerability list updates with lower memory use.
- AI Security Advisor - WordPress Abilities exposure is on by default for new installs (can be turned off in AI settings).
- Vulnerability Scanner - Plugin/theme and vulnerability-database updates keep the last known results until the background rescan finishes (no empty badge gap).
- Cloud Firewall - Logged-in admins skip expensive ban checks in wp-admin and admin-ajax; local banned-IP list is cached per request.
- sn-global.js loads only on Security Ninja admin pages; AI Security Advisor class files load on demand instead of every request.
- Cloud Firewall (Pro) - Added GetTerms cookie scanner IP (45.55.125.144) to the built-in automatic whitelist (always on; no checkbox required). Thank you Jamie.
