🛡️ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix hardcoded secret bypass for XML-RPC#59
Conversation
- Replaced conditional XML-RPC block (using a hardcoded secret token `xrpc-9f8e7d6c5b4a` in `$arg_token`) with an unconditional `deny all;` directive in `server-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.conf`. - Added a Sentinel journal entry in `.jules/sentinel.md` documenting the vulnerability and learning.
