XML-RPC Security

What is it?

WordPress provides flexibility for website developers to publish or modify website content without using the admin login page. XML-RPC is a really useful method that helps applications such as mobile apps authenticate before performing privileged actions on the site.

However, with the WordPress XML-RPC Service, which was developed for distributed systems to communicate with each other and transfers data in XML format, Brute Force and DDoS attacks can be launched without getting caught by Web Application Firewall (WAF) and other plugins.

How does it work?

The process in the XML message is to run the authorization based on the conformity of the conditions on the server side receiving the message and transmit the result back to the client system in XML format.

Although XML-RPC provides a great convenience for remote management, it is abused by hackers. With some methods implemented on this service, a brute force attack can be made on the administration panel without being blocked by security plugins and WAFs.

What happens if not?

In the absence of XML-RPC Security, your system becomes vulnerable to many types of attacks. From these attacks, your system can be infiltrated by trial and error, and if a DoS is launched, your system may slow down and may be disabled for a period of time.
