Do a security review of my WordPress site with Wordfence. Tell me whether the firewall is on and when the last scan ran; if it is older than a week, start a new scan once I approve it. Explain the open issues in plain words, most serious first, with what I should do about each. Summarise failed logins and lockouts over the last days. If I give you an address that keeps attacking, such as [IP address from Wordfence's own screen], block it for [hours, e.g. 48] hours after my approval.

Review my Wordfence status, issues and login attacks, most serious first.
What happens
- The AI app reads Wordfence's status: firewall and its mode, last and next scan, open issues by severity.
- If the last scan is old, a new scan waits for your approval and runs in the background.
- It reads the scan's open issues (changed core files, vulnerable plugins and the like) and explains each.
- It summarises login attacks as totals, with networks shortened; it never sees usernames or full addresses.
- Blocking an address you give it waits for your approval in SAR and can be undone.
