How to Recover a Website From a Backup Without Restoring an Infected Plugin

A full-site restore may reintroduce a compromised extension or vulnerable component that caused the incident.

Checks to make

Identify the compromise window and affected files, select a clean restore point, and restore into isolation. Reinstall trusted application components from verified sources, patch before public access, and validate accounts, permissions, and indicators of compromise.
