🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: A hardcoded token xrpc-9f8e7d6c5b4a was embedded directly in the Nginx configuration file (wordpress.conf) to conditionally bypass the /xmlrpc.php block.
🎯 Impact: Exposes a hardcoded secret in version control, allowing a potential authentication bypass and brute-force/DDoS vector if discovered.
πŸ”§ Fix: Replaced the conditional block with an unconditional deny all; for /xmlrpc.php and disabled logging.
βœ… Verification: Verified Nginx syntax locally using nginx -t. No automated test suite exists.
πŸ“š Journal: Documented the finding in .jules/sentinel.md as a critical learning.
