Enhance Security with stop XML-RPC Attacks
stop XML-RPC Attacks is a WordPress plugin designed to improve the security of your site by selectively removing certain methods from the XML-RPC interface. This approach allows users to retain the functionality of XML-RPC, which is essential for various plugins and mobile applications like Jetpack, while reducing the risk of security vulnerabilities. The plugin specifically targets and removes methods such as system.multicall, system.listMethods, and pingback.ping, among others, to mitigate potential attacks.
The plugin is free and is compatible with WordPress versions 5.0 and higher. While it does not provide a foolproof solution to all XML-RPC-related threats, it serves as a useful tool for enhancing site security. By limiting the available methods, it helps prevent unauthorized access and attacks, making it a practical choice for WordPress users looking to bolster their website's defenses.
