Synopsis

Wordpress Administration Panel Login Form Bruteforced

Description

The scanner successfully authenticated on the Wordpress administration panel by using weak or predictable credentials.

Solution

The Wordpress administration panel interface should not be configured with accounts using default or predictable credentials. A complex password policy should be defined and enforced on every account to prevent attackers from guessing it and gain unauthorized access.
