Stop XML-RPC Attacks

Descrición

Stop XML-RPC Attacks protects your WordPress site from XML-RPC brute force attacks, DDoS attempts, and reconnaissance probes while maintaining compatibility with essential services like Jetpack and WooCommerce.

Features:

  • Three security modes: Full Disable, Guest Disable, or Selective Blocking
  • Blocks dangerous methods: system.multicall, pingback.ping, and more
  • Compatible with Jetpack and WooCommerce
  • Optional user enumeration blocking
  • Attack logging for monitoring
  • Zero configuration required – works out of the box
  • Clean, intuitive admin interface

Instalación

  1. Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/stop-xmlrpc-attacks/
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Go to Settings > XML-RPC Security to configure (optional)

Preguntas frecuentes

Will this break Jetpack?

No! The default “Selective Blocking” mode is fully compatible with Jetpack and WooCommerce.

What’s the difference between the security modes?

  • Full Disable: Maximum security, disables XML-RPC completely
  • Guest Disable: Balanced approach, only allows XML-RPC for logged-in users
  • Selective Blocking: Best compatibility, only blocks dangerous methods

How do I enable logging?

Go to Settings > XML-RPC Security and check “Enable Attack Logging”. Logs will be written to your debug.log file when WP_DEBUG is enabled.

It works silently in the background. This is the only security plugin I use, since a W***fence update broke my site about a year back. Gives me a peace of mind.
