Scan the entire /var/www/html/wp-admin/ directory (recursively) on testing.jaimisaunders.com for hardcoded credentials. Replace each with getenv('SOTANO_...') calls and write the actual values to the existing sotano.env vault file.

Donna2026-06-01 15:08 UTC

I'll start by examining the existing vault file and loader, then scan all PHP files in wp-admin recursively.

After a thorough scan of all 242 PHP files across the entire `/var/www/html/wp-admin/` directory (including all subdirectories: `includes/`, `network/`, `maint/`, `user/`, `css/`, `js/`), I found **zero hardcoded credentials**. Here is the complete summary: **Total files scanned:** 242 **Total files modified:** 0 **Total new vault entries added:** 0 **Findings:** - The `/var/www/html/wp-admin/` directory contains only standard WordPress core files - All references to passwords, tokens, keys, and secrets are: - HTML/JS form fields for user input (password fields, etc.) - Variable assignments from database options (`get_option()`, `get_site_option()`) - Meta key names in database queries - Public signing keys (WordPress.org verification key in `file.php`) - Placeholder/default checks (like `"put your unique phrase here"` in `repair.php`) **No action was taken** because there are no hardcoded credentials to extract or replace. The vault file (`sotano.env`) and loader (`sotano-loader.php`) remain unchanged. Let me verify the site still loads properly:

Site returns 302 (redirect to login or wp-admin), which is normal for WordPress. The site is functioning correctly. **Final summary:** | Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | Files scanned | 242 (all `.php` files in `/var/www/html/wp-admin/` recursive) | | Files modified | 0 | | Vault entries added | 0 | | Site status | Healthy (HTTP 302 - normal WordPress redirect) | **Conclusion:** The `/var/www/html/wp-admin/` directory contains only stock WordPress core files with no hardcoded credentials. The previous scan (root-level files) already covered the files that typically contain credentials (like `wp-config.php`). No further action needed in this directory.
