## Beschreibung

### XML-RPC Settings

Configure XML-RPC methods to increase the security of your website:

#### Build-in features could be used for malicious purposes and cannot be disabled by default.

 * Disable GET access
    - XML-RPC API only responds to POST requests. Direct GET access is not needed
      and can be used to fingerprint websites and use them as XML-RPC zombies in
      later attacks.
 * Disable system.multicall
    - system.multicall method can be misused for amplification attacks.
 * Disable system.listMethods
    - system.listMethods method can be used for verifying attack scope.

#### Prevent malicious actors from enumerating usernames and credentials.

 * Disable authenticated methods
    - Methods requiring authentication, such as wp.getUsersBlogs, are often used
      to brute-force your passwords.

#### Pingbacks are a helpful feature to discover back-links to your posts but can be misused for DDoS attacks or allow fingerprinting your WP version.

 * Disable pingbacks

    - Pingbacks‘ user-agent can reveal your exact WordPress version, even when hidden
      by other plugins.

    - WordPress supports the metaWeblog XML-RPC API.
