Stop XML-RPC Attacks

Descripción

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)

FAQ

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.
