CMS & Vulnerability Fingerprint Scanner
Audit your WordPress, Drupal, or headless CMS for exposed REST API user endpoints, active XML-RPC vulnerabilities, and version leaks.
Overview & why this matters
Content Management Systems (CMS) power over 70% of the web, making them the primary target for automated cyber attacks.
Unhardened installations frequently expose user accounts through public REST APIs (/wp-json/wp/v2/users), permit brute-force amplification via XML-RPC, and broadcast exact software versions that allow attackers to exploit known CVEs.
Critical attack vectors mitigated by CMS hardening
Block Automated User Enumeration
Public REST API user endpoints disclose author usernames, giving hackers half of your login credentials for credential stuffing attacks.
Mitigate XML-RPC Amplification & Brute Force
Active XML-RPC endpoints permit attackers to test hundreds of password combinations in a single HTTP request using system.multicall.
Eliminate Zero-Day Version Targeting
Broadcasting exact CMS versions in HTML generator tags and asset query strings allows automated botnets to target unpatched vulnerabilities.

Block public access to XML-RPC, user enumeration, and sensitive readme files:
location = /xmlrpc.php { deny all; return 403; }
location ~* ^/wp-json/wp/v2/users { deny all; return 403; }
location ~* /(readme\.html|license\.txt) { deny all; return 404; }
