Job Management Software: Zorderz 1.6.1 Hardens Security

Zorderz 1.6.1 is out, and it is a security release.

Zorderz is free, open source job management software you run on your own WordPress site.

Read every line in the repository, or download it from the release page.

What we hardened

We reviewed the whole system and closed the gaps we found.

An export never carries a secret, revenue is hidden from anyone without permission to see it, and logins and shared files got stricter checks.

None of this changes how Zorderz works for you, it just removes ways it could be misused.

Guardrails for open source

Zorderz is open source, so anyone can propose a change, and that is the point.

But a change could hide a weakness inside what looks like a fix.

So we added a guard that reads every change, blocks the dangerous patterns, and holds it behind tests that must pass before it can merge.

A human and Claude build Zorderz together, and the guard checks their work like anyone’s.

Why this matters

Job management software holds the details of how you run your business.

That data is yours, and it has to stay that way.

Open source means you can trust the code because you can see it, and now nothing can be slipped past it.
