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-json
WordPress REST API root, which exposes site metadata and, by default, can enumerate users and content.
What an attacker could do
The REST root reveals the WordPress version and routes and can leak usernames via /wp-json/wp/v2/users, aiding targeted brute-force and exploitation.
How to defend it
Restrict or authenticate sensitive REST routes, disable user enumeration, and keep WordPress core and plugins patched.
