XML-RPC

XML-RPC

What It Does

XML-RPC is a protocol that allows remote access to your WordPress site. While it can be useful for certain applications, it can also be exploited by attackers to perform brute force attacks or other malicious activities.

This module disables XML-RPC, preventing attackers from using it to attack your website while still allowing legitimate applications that require it to function properly.

Why It Matters

When attackers want to hack into a WordPress site, they search for all available information.

Disclosing sensitive information makes it easier for attackers to find vulnerabilities and exploit them.

Protecting sensitive data prevents information disclosure that could be used against your website.

How to Use

Activate this module in the Sensitive Data section of SecuPress settings.

Once activated, the module works automatically and provides protection for your website.

If you encounter any issues after activation, you can temporarily deactivate the module. The module will automatically remove its protection rules when deactivated.
