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-content/debug.log
WordPress debug log that can leak paths, queries, and errors when WP_DEBUG_LOG is enabled
What an attacker could do
If readable, this file leaks absolute server paths, database queries, plugin errors, and occasionally credentials or tokens, providing reconnaissance to chain further exploits.
How to defend it
Disable `WP_DEBUG_LOG` in production, write debug logs outside the web root, and deny direct HTTP access to `.log` files in the server configuration.
