🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: A hardcoded secret token (
xrpc-9f8e7d6c5b4a) was present inserver-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.confto bypass the XML-RPC block (/xmlrpc.php).🎯 Impact: Anyone with access to the repository or reverse proxy configuration could seamlessly bypass the XML-RPC block and access the endpoint, leading to possible brute-force amplification attacks.
🔧 Fix: Removed the hardcoded
$arg_tokenconditional matching and unconditionally blocked the endpoint.✅ Verification:
read_file server-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.confconfirms the hardcoded string is entirely removed, and thelocation = /xmlrpc.phpblock correctlydeny all;.PR created automatically by Jules for task 8541026814255837437 started by @Snider
