Replaces the hardcoded secret token for XML-RPC access with an unconditional block to secure the endpoint. Also addresses CI build issues.
π¨ Severity: CRITICAL
π‘ Vulnerability: A hardcoded secret token (
xrpc-9f8e7d6c5b4a) was discovered in the Nginx configuration (server-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.conf) that acted as a backdoor to bypass the default block on the/xmlrpc.phpendpoint.π― Impact: Anyone with knowledge of this token could access the XML-RPC endpoint, which is a common vector for brute-force and DDoS attacks against WordPress instances. The token was embedded in a version-controlled file.
π§ Fix: Removed the conditional check for the hardcoded token and replaced the entire
/xmlrpc.phplocation block with an unconditionaldeny all;. Also explicitly disabled access and not_found logs for this blocked endpoint to prevent log bloat.β Verification: Review the Nginx configuration changes to confirm that the
location = /xmlrpc.phpblock contains only unconditionaldeny all;directives.PR created automatically by Jules for task 18315757401087449376 started by @Snider
