XML-RPCTECHNICZNE
TechnicalHow it works under the hood

XML-RPC

XML Remote Procedure Call

An older WordPress interface that allows publishing and managing content from external programs — without logging into the admin panel.

Why it matters

Convenient entry point for bots: enables guessing passwords in bulk per request and mass publishing, bypassing admin panel security.

What's missing without it

When enabled but unused, XML-RPC leaves an open backdoor that goes unnoticed — posts made through it don't appear in the admin panel history.

When it is used

Check during every WordPress audit. Today, it is replaced by the REST API.

How we use it

File `xmlrpc.php`. If unused, block it in server configuration: `location = /xmlrpc.php { deny all; }`.
