Bunker 1.2.7
Bunker 1.2.7
First public release of The Hack Repair Guy's Bunker, a WordPress Utility Lockdown for WordPress running behind a static website.
Highlights
- Fourteen lockdowns for a utility WordPress install: front end, XML-RPC, REST API, usernames, comments, registration, application passwords, an IP lock for the login page and dashboard, code editors, version files and logs, PHP in uploads, a scheduled-task watch, an optional form-action allowlist and an optional "404 everything" mode.
- Hatch link: a spare key that only opens after the administrator approves the request by email.
- Nothing is enforced until you confirm, and the IP lock waits until you have saved your list.
Changes since the 1.2.4 development build
- Rule files: a symbolic-link
.htaccessis left alone, markers are checked before a backup is taken, a read-only folder is refused cleanly, and lock files are removed on deactivation. - IP lock: IPv4 visitors reported as IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses now match plain IPv4 entries and Cloudflare ranges.
- Hatch link: secrets must be entirely hexadecimal, and a second browser is told how long an earlier request has left.
- The known-actions lockdown now covers a bare
admin-ajax.phprequest, and the database repair screen is limited to your IP list. - With the 404 option on, refused REST requests get the 404 page, and
setup-config.php,wp-admin/includes/*.phpandwp-includes/*.phpare covered. - The server rules backup notice appears only when Bunker is actually holding a backup.
