  1. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.24Latest

    • SECURITY (WAF & Advanced Rules Engine): Hardened request URI and query string normalization, path exclusion parsing, and challenge session evaluation to ensure consistent enforcement of blocking, scoring, and rate-limiting rules across all request contexts.
    • SECURITY (Access Control): Strengthened capability verification (advaipbl_manage_settings) across WordPress Settings API groups, admin actions, File Integrity Monitor operations, and background task runners for strict role-based isolation.
    • SECURITY (Network & Proxy Handling): Improved multi-hop proxy header parsing (X-Forwarded-For) and enforced strict TLS certificate verification on outbound remote advisory connections.
    • PERFORMANCE & STABILITY: Capped raw HTTP body inspection (php://input) to 128 KB in the WAF and Advanced Rules engines to prevent excessive memory consumption during oversized POST requests, improved regex pattern preservation when saving custom rules in the admin UI, and implemented safe PCRE2 bat…
    • SECURITY (Whitelist & Anti-Lockout): Added multi-layer whitelist and active administrator session verification before dispatching IP blocks to Cloudflare Edge or queueing reports for the AIB Community Network, and ensured automatic Cloudflare rule removal when an IP is whitelisted.

  2. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.23

    • SECURITY (.htaccess & Anti-Lockout): Enforced strict whitelist filtering in Apache .htaccess rule generation, guaranteeing that whitelisted IPs (administrator sessions, search engine bots, loopback) are never written into server-level deny directives. Fixed uninstallation and deactivation routines…
    • SECURITY (Import / Export): Hardened Settings Import/Export against accidental lockouts. Excluded whitelisted and active administrator IPs from exported blocked IP tables, rejected whitelisted IPs during table restoration, enforced automatic admin unblocking and whitelist validation post-import, sa…
    • ENHANCEMENT (Cloud Edge Defense): Hardened Cloudflare edge rule uninstallation in uninstall.php. Added PHP execution time extension (set_time_limit(300)), streamlined request timeouts, and implemented rate-limiting delays (usleep(30000)) to ensure clean, uninterrupted edge firewall rule deletion wi…
    • SECURITY (Advisories): Expanded the Remote Notices system (ADVAIPBL_Remote_Notices) with WordPress Core version rule matching (target_wp_rule) to dynamically alert administrators about critical core vulnerabilities affecting specific release branches (e.g., WP 7.1.3 RCE upgrade vulnerability), and…
    • BUGFIX (Uninstaller): Ensured 100% clean data deletion in uninstall.php when “Delete Data on Uninstall” is enabled. Added missing File Integrity Monitor baseline version (advaipbl_fim_baseline_version) and live feed token to the purge routine, and added a wildcard database sweep (advaipbl_% and adv…
    • BUGFIX (UI/UX): Resolved duplicate admin notices on fresh installations and settings pages by removing redundant template invocations, eliminating duplicate hook registrations, and adding static execution guards to ensure every admin notice and telemetry banner renders strictly once per request.
    • NEW FEATURE (WP-CLI): Added dedicated wp advaipbl panic <status|on|off|mode> subcommand, allowing system administrators to inspect, manually engage (emergency DDoS JS challenge), or cancel Distributed Attack Protection (Auto-Panic) directly from the terminal.
    • NEW FEATURE (WP-CLI): Added dedicated wp advaipbl hardening <status|enable|disable> [feature] subcommand to audit and toggle WordPress Core Hardening protections (PHP in Uploads, File Editor, Application Passwords, WP Version, ImageMagick) via CLI.
    • NEW FEATURE (WP-CLI): Added dedicated wp advaipbl cache <purge|flush|status> subcommand to safely inspect and purge temporary block transients, rate-limiting counters, and security metrics buffers without affecting permanent rule lists.
    • ENHANCEMENT (WP-CLI): Redesigned wp advaipbl status into a comprehensive categorized report covering all modules (Emergency Defense, Firewall & WAF, Threat Feeds & Geo, Access & Auth, Hardening, and Forensics) with real-time attack alerts.
    • ENHANCEMENT (WP-CLI): Enhanced wp advaipbl config get to seamlessly merge database options with core plugin default settings, ensuring accurate runtime configuration inspection even on fresh installations, and added --search and format support.
    • ENHANCEMENT (WP-CLI): Improved wp advaipbl config set with natural boolean toggle recognition (on/off/true/false) and robust array parsing for geoblocking and role restrictions.
    • UI/UX: Updated the “WP-CLI Interface” documentation modal in the Credits / About tab with the complete and categorized command reference.

  3. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.22

    • NEW FEATURE: Added dedicated WP-CLI administrator management subcommand (wp advaipbl admin <list|allow|remove|reset>) allowing administrators to view, authorize, remove, or reset access to the plugin dashboard directly via terminal.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Added automatic fail-safe recovery and deleted_user hook cleanup for Authorized Administrators (allowed_admin_users). If all authorized administrator accounts are deleted from WordPress, the plugin automatically restores access to active administrators with manage_options, preventing p…
    • ENHANCEMENT: Improved WP-CLI config set parsing for array-based options (allowed_admin_users, tfa_force_roles), adding support for comma-separated values, JSON arrays, and clearing restrictions using none or empty without triggering PHP array-to-string notices.
    • SECURITY: Updated Site Health & Security Scanner PHP version classification to match official PHP lifecycle policies (<8.2 flagged as Critical/EOL with no security support, 8.2 as Warning, 8.3/8.4/8.5+ as Good/Active).
    • ENHANCEMENT: Fixed child theme handling in Vulnerability Audit. When child themes are installed, the scanner now inspects the parent theme’s actual version rather than sending the child theme’s local version, preventing false positive vulnerability alerts and clearly displaying child-to-parent rela…
    • UI/UX: Enhanced Dashboard “Challenges Overview” chart breakdown. Out of total challenges served, the chart now accurately depicts the challenge outcomes: Verified Humans (Passed), Failed Attempts, and Unsolved/Dropped Bots (automated threats stopped before executing JavaScript), eliminating redunda…
    • ENHANCEMENT: Improved “Advanced Rules Hits” widget with real-time metrics buffer aggregation and graceful empty-state messaging when no rules have been triggered.

  4. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.21

    • NEW FEATURE: Enhanced Remote Security Advisories (ADVAIPBL_Remote_Notices) with intelligent local environment filtering, allowing security alerts to target specific vulnerable PHP branches (including EOL branches) or specific installed/active plugins and themes by slug and version threshold.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Linked File Integrity Monitor (FIM) critical file modification email alerts to the master “Enable Email Notifications” toggle (enable_email_notifications) for consistent centralized email notification control.
    • UI/UX: Clarified the “Enable Email Notifications” setting description to indicate that it governs both IP block notifications and system/security event alerts (such as AbuseIPDB quota warnings and FIM alerts).

  5. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.20

    • SECURITY: Hardened Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) by enforcing on-demand initialization of ADVAIPBL_2FA_Manager across all authentication contexts (including frontend login forms like WooCommerce /my-account/ and custom login URLs), adding server-side expiration (advaipbl_2fa_step1_expires) to Ste…
    • SECURITY: Upgraded the native JavaScript Challenge engine (Automatic & Managed modes) from static arithmetic to a cryptographic FNV-1a 32-bit Proof-of-Work (PoW) challenge with split-seed reconstruction, headless browser detection (navigator.webdriver), trusted DOM event verification (event.isTrust…
    • BUGFIX: Fixed IPv6 geolocation failures when using the MaxMind GeoLite2 Local Database by adding fallback resolution to registeredCountry, representedCountry, and GeoLite2-Country.mmdb, as well as triggering external API fallback when local records only contain ASN data without a country code.
    • BUGFIX: Resolved a File Integrity Monitor (FIM) false-positive alert on subdirectory WordPress installations (where siteurl and home differ) caused by .htaccess path resolution mismatches between the .htaccess Firewall Manager (root /.htaccess) and the FIM scanner (ABSPATH . '.htaccess').
    • ENHANCEMENT: Hardened root .htaccess path resolution in ADVAIPBL_Htaccess_Manager to deterministically compute the home directory from ABSPATH across frontend, WP-Cron, and CLI execution contexts.
    • BUGFIX: Removed a duplicate warning log entry when a JS Challenge verification fails.

  6. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.19

    • ENHANCEMENT: File Integrity Monitor (FIM) now captures cryptographic hash and file size deltas (e.g., old_size -> new_size, old_hash -> new_hash) in alert emails and the Audit Log, helping administrators instantly distinguish between byte-level line-ending changes and file modifications.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Added file size tracking to the baseline snapshots (advaipbl_fim_baseline_hashes) with full backward compatibility for existing installations.
    • BUGFIX: Fixed an issue in the FIM baseline updater where newly discovered or added files were not being committed to the stored baseline.

  7. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.18

    • BUGFIX: Resolved File Integrity Monitor (FIM) false-positive alert loop where updated baseline hashes were not committed after sending modification alerts for critical files (wp-config.php and .htaccess).
    • NEW FEATURE: Added a one-click “Reset Baseline Hashes” button in Internal Security settings allowing administrators to immediately re-synchronize FIM snapshots after making legitimate server modifications.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Added support for wp-config.php located in the parent directory above the WordPress root (standard WordPress hardening architecture).
    • ENHANCEMENT: Enhanced path normalization and matching in the File Verifier engine across Apache, Nginx, and Windows server environments.

  8. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.17

    • PERFORMANCE: Optimized Security Dashboard map loading during large DDoS and botnet attacks. The live attack map now pre-sorts and limits attack events to the 200 most recent entries before performing geolocation lookups, completely eliminating 30-second PHP execution timeouts and AJAX errors when t…
    • UI/UX: Updated the Security Dashboard map widget title to “Live Attack Map (Latest 200 Attacks)” to clearly differentiate the rendered map markers from the total blocked IPs counter badge.

  9. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.16

    • Security (Critical): Fixed an Authentication Bypass vulnerability where users with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled could bypass 2FA checks via XML-RPC using their standard password.
    • Security: Hardened the 2FA authentication flow by migrating the interim Step-1 token from URL parameters to a secure, HttpOnly cookie, preventing token leakage in server access logs and browser history.
    • Enhancement: Integrated the ‘Login Whitelist Block’ restriction into the core Threat Score engine. Repeated unauthorized login attempts now accumulate points and trigger network-level bans (Cloudflare/.htaccess).
    • Feature: Added ‘Login Whitelist Block’ to the Threat Score configuration UI so administrators can customize the penalty points.
    • Fix: Corrected a visual bug in the Security Audit Log where access rejections (such as Login Whitelist, Geo-blocking) were erroneously displayed as “Blocked: Permanent”. They are now accurately labeled as “Request Rejected”.
    • Fix: Fixed an issue where the attacker’s IP was displayed as “N/A” in the Security Log for Login Whitelist block events.

  10. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.15

    • Security: Enhanced 2FA brute-force protection. Administrators can now configure the “Max 2FA Failures” and “Lockout Duration” directly from the Login Security settings.
    • Security: Differentiated generic login failures from 2FA failures. The Audit Log now flags failed 2FA attempts as “Critical – Password Compromised” instead of generic invalid credentials.

  11. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.14

    • Security (Critical): Fixed an Authentication Bypass vulnerability in the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) login flow.
    • Security: Implemented strict anti-brute-force rate limiting for 2FA TOTP verification (accounts are temporarily locked for 15 minutes after 5 failed attempts).
    • Security: Failed 2FA attempts now correctly trigger the native WordPress wp_login_failed hook, ensuring compatibility with server-level IP banning tools like Fail2Ban.
    • I18n: Added missing translation strings for the new 2FA security prompts to the .pot file.

  12. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.13

    • COMPATIBILITY: Full Nginx Environment Support. The plugin now intelligently detects Nginx servers and automatically adapts its UI to disable unsupported .htaccess features in the Setup Wizard and Settings pages.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Added a built-in Nginx Vhost snippet generator. Nginx users are now provided with exact copy-paste configuration rules to protect sensitive plugin directories and block malicious PHP execution in the uploads folder.
    • ENHANCEMENT: The HTTP Security Headers module now explicitly notifies Nginx users of its dynamic PHP fallback mechanism and provides guidance for static file protection.
    • ENHANCEMENT: The System Status dashboard now accurately reports .htaccess core file permission checks as ‘Not Applicable’ on Nginx servers instead of showing misleading errors.
    • BUGFIX: Resolved a critical MySQL syntax error triggered during the “Unblock All IPs” and expired IP cleanup routines, caused by a misplaced code validation comment inside the database query.

  13. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.12

    • NEW FEATURE: Zero-Day Advanced Telemetry. The dashboard now tracks exact analytics (first_seen, unique_ips, unique_sites) for each blocked Zero-Day attack to provide deeper threat intelligence.
    • NEW FEATURE: Manual Sync for the Community Defense Network. Added a “Sync Now” button with AJAX feedback to manually force the latest community threat feed update.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Advanced Rules Engine can now seamlessly parse and flatten multipart/form-data payloads (including $_FILES), drastically improving the interception of Arbitrary File Upload zero-day exploits.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Increased the responsiveness of the Remote Security Notices synchronization by updating the local cron interval from 24 hours to 6 hours.
    • BUGFIX: Implemented an API transient lock for the Wordfence Vulnerability Importer to protect the free tier API quota from being suspended by repetitive WP-Cron executions.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Integrated the “Whitelist Login Countries” feature with the Threat Scoring Engine. Failed login attempts from unauthorized countries now accumulate threat score points (default: 25) instead of just showing a soft block, leading to an automatic hard block for persistent bots.
    • OPTIMIZATION: Drastically improved WordPress Admin performance by implementing a Smart Transient Cache system for database pagination COUNT() queries. This allows viewing the full history of millions of records (e.g. 100,000+ pages) without crashing the server or triggering MySQL ‘Slow Queries’.
    • BUGFIX/OPTIMIZATION: Resolved ‘API Required’ map errors on the IP Inspector tab by replacing the CARTO map tiles with an embedded OpenStreetMap iframe. This change also eliminates unnecessary map-related Javascript (Leaflet) from loading on this tab, improving dashboard performance.
    • BUGFIX: Fixed an issue where critical plugin notifications (AIB Alerts, Force 2FA, Setup Wizard, and Threat Feed Status) were being incorrectly suppressed within the plugin’s own dashboard pages.

  14. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.11

    • SECURITY: Implemented a new internal authentication header (X-AIB-Auth) across all API endpoints to improve communication security and bypass restrictive firewall/CGI configurations that strip standard authorization headers.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Added version tracking parameters to all API requests to ensure better backward compatibility and diagnostic capabilities with the central server.
    • BUGFIX: Resolved a critical MySQL max_allowed_packet error that caused the File Integrity Monitor (FIM) malware signatures synchronization to fail on local environments (like XAMPP) and restrictive shared hosting. Signatures are now smartly chunked into smaller payloads before being saved to the da…

  15. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.10

    • ENHANCEMENT: Upgraded the Advanced WAF Rules Engine to use apache_request_headers() as a fallback, ensuring sensitive headers (like Authorization) can be evaluated even on restrictive Apache/LiteSpeed environments that hide them from $_SERVER.
    • BUGFIX: Added the fallback header to the V4 Community Blocklist fetch routine to ensure API tokens are reliably transmitted and bypass strict CGI server configurations.

  16. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.9

    • NEW FEATURE: Introduced a Remote Admin Notifications system. You will now receive important security alerts, zero-day warnings, and feature updates directly in your WordPress dashboard without needing a plugin update.
    • ENHANCEMENT: True ‘Hybrid’ Dual-Logging for Telemetry. Telemetry events are now reliably tracked in the database without altering or duplicating the native debug.log formats.
    • BUGFIX: Fixed a UI layout issue in the Security Logs where massive Captured Request Payloads (like reCAPTCHA tokens) stretched the container horizontally. Added proper CSS word-wrapping.
    • BUGFIX: Resolved a PHP Fatal Error caused by a missing variable ($stripe_webhook_ips) during array merging for immune IPs.
    • TWEAK: Added Redsys and Paddle to the global immune IPs list to prevent accidental blocks on legitimate payment webhooks.

  17. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.8

    • SECURITY: Added Zero-Day WAF protection against the Bookly AI IDOR vulnerability (CVE-2026-89063) via Advanced Rate Limiting.
    • BUGFIX: Resolved a PHP Fatal Error (500 Internal Server Error) triggered by the Advanced Rules engine when a rate limit (429) action was executed.
    • BUGFIX: Fixed an issue where Advanced Rule rate limit blocks were not being displayed in the Security Logs dashboard.

  18. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.7

    • SECURITY: Patched a critical Arbitrary File Move (Path Traversal) vulnerability in the File Integrity Monitor quarantine endpoint.
    • SECURITY: Added strict IP-based transient rate limiting to legacy V1 and V2 telemetry endpoints to prevent database poisoning and bot spam.
    • SECURITY: Security Audit completed. Verified 100% CSRF (Nonce) and Privilege Escalation protection across all 40+ AJAX and Admin Post endpoints.
    • BUGFIX: Fixed WAF payload parsing for multipart/form-data to accurately block zero-day exploits hidden in file uploads.

  19. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.6

    • NEW FEATURE: Rate Limiting in Advanced Rules. You can now apply granular rate limits (reqs/secs) to specific URIs or payloads.
    • NEW FEATURE: Dynamic Rate Limit Fallbacks. Define custom penalty actions (e.g., Turnstile Challenge, 403 Block, or 429 Slow Down) when a rate limit is exceeded.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Hardened Zero-Day WAF Generic rules for XSS and SQLi to drastically reduce false positives on valid payloads.
    • BUGFIX: Fixed a pagination bug in the Advanced Rules UI that prevented editing rules on pages 2 and beyond.
    • BUGFIX: Fixed a CSS layout issue where very long Regex payloads caused the action buttons to break out of their container.
    • BUGFIX: Patched the rules evaluation engine loop that caused premature termination on non-blocking actions.

  20. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.5

    • PERFORMANCE: Massive 200x speed optimization in the File Integrity Monitor (FIM). Over 10,000 RegEx malware signatures are now compiled dynamically into a single unified pattern to prevent Deep Scan timeouts.
    • NEW FEATURE: FIM now automatically quarantines highly confident threats (MD5 & SHA256 matches) immediately upon detection, accompanied by an automatic email/push notification alert.
    • NEW FEATURE: Added a configurable “Deep Scan Chunk Size” setting under Internal Security. Users on shared hosting can now lower the batch size to completely prevent server execution timeouts during deep scans.
    • SECURITY: Built a new anti-breakage safeguard into the FIM Engine. The scanner strictly protects WordPress core files (e.g., wp-config.php, index.php), active themes, and plugins from being auto-quarantined to prevent site downtime.
    • BUGFIX: Resolved a false-positive issue in FIM caused by structural changes in the upstream signatures payload format.
    • TWEAK: Expanded default FIM exclusions to include safe cache/backup directories (advaipbl-backups, redux, wpforms) to prevent empty index.php false positives.
    • SECURITY: Added Zero-Day WAF rules.

  21. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.4

    • ENHANCEMENT: Added a new “User-Agent URI Exclusions” text box in Settings. Site administrators can now specify particular URIs (like /wp-json/) that will completely bypass User-Agent blocking and scoring, providing granular control for APIs and webhooks.
    • BUGFIX: Unified the default User-Agent blocked list structure. The UI now dynamically syncs with the core configuration to guarantee both lists always reflect the same active protections, preventing legacy tools from being erroneously restored.
    • BUGFIX: Fixed an issue where the “Whitelist Login Access” engine failed to generate a Security Log event when blocking a request. Added a dedicated “Login Whitelist” filter to the Security Logs UI.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Standardized the plugin’s branding signature (“Performance & security by Advanced IP Blocker”) across all blocking screens, Captchas, and JS Challenges to improve brand visibility and consistency.
    • TWEAK: Optimized the early-init login restrictions (Whitelist and Geo-blocking) to bypass the threat scoring system and 403-challenge interceptions, instantly blocking attackers and saving server resources.

  22. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.3

    • SECURITY: Added Zero-Day WAF rules for recent critical vulnerabilities including All-in-One WP Migration SQLi (CVE-2026-19949) and Gravity Forms Arbitrary File Upload (CVE-2026-19513).
    • ENHANCEMENT: Advanced Rules Import/Export now intelligently filters out dynamically synced Cloud Zero-Day Rules (ar_zd_) to prevent rule duplication and false positives across different sites, automatically triggering a background cloud sync after import.
    • NEW FEATURE: Fully self-documented WP-CLI Interface. The plugin’s command-line interface now includes comprehensive help screens (## SYNOPSIS, ## OPTIONS, and ## EXAMPLES) for all commands, automatically parsed by WP-CLI.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Updated the “Key Features Overview” panel in the Credits tab to include our newest security modules: File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), Manual Integrity Scanner, Advanced Rules Cloud Sync, and Comprehensive Audit Logging.
    • ENHANCEMENT: The “WP-CLI Interface” section in the plugin’s dashboard now displays a complete, logically grouped list of all available CLI commands to help system administrators automate their workflows.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Rebuilt and synchronized the official plugin translation template (.pot file) to include all the new user interface strings.
    • BUGFIX: Removed legitimate Android OS signatures (okhttp, Dalvik/) and developer tools (Go-http-client, PostmanRuntime) from the default blocked User-Agent list to prevent false positive bans on mobile users and APIs.
    • BUGFIX: Resolved WPCS warnings related to the DONOTCACHEPAGE constant across multiple challenge and verification classes.

  23. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.2

    • HOTFIX: Refactored the File Integrity Monitor engine to fetch malware signatures dynamically from the Central API and store them in the database. This prevents the plugin’s internal malware dictionary from triggering false positives in server-side antiviruses (e.g., CPGuard, Imunify360).
    • NEW FEATURE: Added a “Manage Whitelist” UI to the FIM Dashboard for manually excluding files from scans.
    • ENHANCEMENT: The FIM scanner now automatically ignores the plugin’s own directory to prevent false positives caused by security-related localization strings.

  24. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.1

    • HOTFIX: Refactored the File Integrity Monitor engine to store malware signatures as ASCII integer arrays. This eliminates false positives caused by server-side antiviruses (like CPGuard or Imunify360) incorrectly flagging the plugin’s internal malware dictionary during static scans.

  25. Advanced IP Blocker 8.13.0

    • NEW FEATURE: File Integrity Monitor (Phase 2): Uploads Malware Scanner. The FIM now extends beyond core files to recursively scan the wp-content/uploads/ directory for suspicious executable files (e.g., hidden .php shells), alerting administrators immediately without causing false positives on legi…
    • NEW FEATURE: Quarantine Vault. A secure backend interface to safely encrypt and isolate malicious or suspicious files detected by the File Integrity Monitor, preventing them from being executed by attackers while preserving them for forensic analysis.
    • NEW FEATURE: Advanced Payload Logging. The WAF and Block engines now capture, sanitize, and log the raw HTTP payload (POST data) of malicious requests, providing invaluable context for administrators investigating complex attacks like SQL injections or XSS.
    • ENHANCEMENT: The FIM alert notification system now dynamically checks your security configuration and will append a highly visible recommendation to enable “Block PHP in Uploads” if an anomaly is detected and the feature is currently disabled.
    • ENHANCEMENT: FIM alert emails now feature color-coded event types for improved scannability (e.g., orange for suspicious files, red for deleted core files).
    • ENHANCEMENT: Modernized Admin UI. Redesigned all configuration inputs across the plugin to feature dynamic floating labels, sleek borderless designs, and premium dark background filters for a better user experience.
    • ENHANCEMENT: Optimized Local WAF Rules. Refined the default and suggested regular expressions (e.g. Path Traversal) to be highly precise, eliminating false positives caused by overly aggressive legacy patterns (like /?author= or trailing hyphens).
    • BUGFIX: Resolved a persistent PHPCS linting error (OutputNotEscaped) in the WAF status tag renderer.
