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?

WordPress

What an attacker could do

A reachable webshell-style file dropped by a malicious or vulnerable WordPress plugin allows arbitrary file upload and command execution, giving an attacker full control of the site and its database.

How to defend it

Remove the offending plugin, scan the install for backdoor files and reinstall WordPress core/plugins from clean sources, and rotate all WordPress and database credentials.
