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?

PHPUnit

What an attacker could do

A WordPress plugin bundling PHPUnit reintroduces the eval-stdin RCE (CVE-2017-9841), letting an unauthenticated attacker run arbitrary PHP and compromise the entire WordPress site.

How to defend it

Remove or update the offending plugin, delete bundled vendor/PHPUnit files from the webroot, and block web access to plugin vendor directories via web server rules.
