🛡️ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix hardcoded XML-RPC bypass secret#71
Conversation
Replaced conditional check using a hardcoded token in server-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.conf with a strict deny all block, completely disabling the /xmlrpc.php endpoint to mitigate potential brute-force and DDoS attacks.

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: A hardcoded token (
xrpc-9f8e7d6c5b4a) was used inserver-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.confto conditionally bypass the/xmlrpc.phpblock.🎯 Impact: An attacker who discovered the token could bypass the block and access the WordPress XML-RPC endpoint, potentially launching brute-force attacks or participating in DDoS reflection attacks.
🔧 Fix: Replaced the conditional check with an unconditional
deny all;directive, permanently blocking the/xmlrpc.phpendpoint. Access logs and not-found logs for the endpoint were also disabled to prevent log spam.✅ Verification: The hardcoded secret has been removed from the repository. Review the changes to
server-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.confto confirm the strictdeny all;block for/xmlrpc.php.PR created automatically by Jules for task 11775404642594898645 started by @Snider
