kistn/wp-client
===============

[](#kistnwp-client)

WordPress plugin client for the Kistn API. Collects installed plugins, themes, and WordPress core, then pushes inventory for centralized vulnerability monitoring.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- WordPress 6.0+
- PHP 8.3+
- WPScan API token (optional — enables vulnerability lookups)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Automatic installation via WordPress plugins

[](#automatic-installation-via-wordpress-plugins)

Login to your WordPress backend, navigate to **Plugins → Add New** and search for "kistn". When the plugin "Kistn API Client" appears, click install. After installation click activate to activate the plugin.

### Manual installation

[](#manual-installation)

Download the current release from [the WordPress plugin repository](https://wordpress.org/plugins/kistn) or from [the releases page](https://github.com/cdoebler/kistn-wp/releases) and upload the plugin ZIP via **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**, then activate.

### Via Composer

[](#via-composer)

```
composer require kistn/wp-client
```

Then activate the plugin as usual via **Plugins** in your WordPress admin.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

**Settings page:** Settings → Kistn

**Or constants in `wp-config.php`:**

```
define( 'KISTN_BASE_URL',      'https://your-server.example.com' );
define( 'KISTN_PROJECT_ID',    'your-project-uuid' );
define( 'KISTN_TOKEN',         'your-api-token' );
define( 'KISTN_WPSCAN_TOKEN',  'your-wpscan-api-token' ); // optional
```

Constants take precedence over settings-page values.

Push Flow
---------

[](#push-flow)

Each run (scheduled or CLI):

1. **Preflight** — `POST /preflight/wp` — server returns stale slugs, cached advisory payloads, and known-private slugs.
2. **Hash check** — `GET /hashes` for all ecosystems; compare each locally; skip push if all unchanged.
3. **WPScan lookup** — query WPScan only for stale, non-private slugs. Slugs returning 404 are reported as `private_packages`.
4. **Push** — `POST /inventory` bundled: `{"ecosystems": {"wp-plugin": {...}, "wp-theme": {...}, "wp-core": {...}}}` — only ecosystems that changed.

CLI

[](#cli)

```
wp kistn push
```
