Autentikasi dan sesi for WordPress

high5 checks

Authentication is the highest-value target on any site: credential stuffing, session fixation and CSRF all aim at the same door.

What WordPress must have

  • Login forms post over HTTPS with a CSRF token
  • Rate limiting and lockout on failed attempts
  • MFA available for privileged accounts
  • Passwords screened against known breach corpora
  • No account enumeration through error messages

How to fix it

  1. 1Add per-account and per-IP throttling
  2. 2Enforce MFA for admins and screen passwords with a k-anonymity API

WordPress context

PHP-based CMS powering ~43% of the web, extended through themes and plugins.

Core is rarely the weak point — outdated plugins, xmlrpc.php, user enumeration and exposed debug logs are. Also inherits every PHP runtime CVE.
