WP_ALLOW_REPAIR

[PDowney]

WP_ALLOW_REPAIR found within the wp-config.php file should be set to false unless it's specifically being used. Any visitor can run database repairs and optimizations on a site with it enabled, regardless of whether or not they are logged in.

Try it by visiting yoursite/wp-admin/maint/repair.php

define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', false);

@PDowney Thanks for your suggestion, it is now commented out by default. I've added a new section in the default wp-config.php boilerplate called:

Inactive Defined Constants (Modify Using Custom Functions Or Otherwise)

A few others added (to be expanded in future), for future reference:

/** the following defined constants should not be hardcoded to allow for modification */
/** modify these constants using the Custom Functions MU plugin or otherwise */

// define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', false); // default = false
// define('SAVEQUERIES', false); // default = false
// define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false); // default = false
// define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', false); // default = false
