This plugin requires hardcoding of the database variables in an insecure and difficult-to-maintain fashion. Is there a reason why lib/firewall.php doesn’t just use DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD and DB_HOST?

Because the firewall loads before WordPress, those constants aren’t populated yet.

You can use this script to debug it:

1. Rename it to “wp-db.php”.
2. Upload it into your WordPress root folder.
3. Go to http://YOUR WEBSITE/wp-db.php
4. Delete it afterwards.
