Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.
You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.
What is this endpoint?
wp-config.php~
WordPress Configuration Temporary File
What an attacker could do
This editor swap/temp copy of wp-config.php is served as raw text rather than executed, leaking the WordPress DB credentials and salts that let an attacker read or tamper with the entire site database.
How to defend it
Delete editor temporary files from the document root and block trailing-tilde and other temp-file patterns at the web server.
