Directory Indexing
In the test an attempt was made to list the directory contents of the uploads and plugins folders to determine if Directory Indexing is enabled. This is a common information leakage vulnerability that can reveal sensitive information regarding your site configuration or content.

/wp-content/uploads/      enabled
/wp-content/plugins/      disabled
Directory indexing was tested on the /wp-content/uploads/ and /wp-content/plugins/ directores. Note that other directories may have this web server feature enabled, so ensure you check other folders in your installation. It is good practice to ensure directory indexing is disabled for your full WordPress installation either through the web server configuration or .htaccess.

But one has to know when recommendations should be followed up and instances when this is not such a good idea.

For instance for Protocol Relative URLs: read -

This enabled the following abuse:

There is a proposal now for websites with insecure outdated WP versions:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/08/07/proposal-auto-update-old-versions-to-4-7/

This could lead to problems for users running certain plug-ins, certain insecure configurations, left code etc.

There is no cure for stupidity combined with sloppiness or when those that make decisions lack any relative knowledge
and still hold security for a last resort issue, where website maintanance is concerned.

WP websites make out 34,4 % of all websites online: https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all
and some are quite big. Popular sites using WordPress
-Wordpress.com
-Otvfoco.com.br
-Chouftv.ma
-Exoclick.com
-Wordpress.org
-Geeksforgeeks.org
-Glassdoor.com
-Dkn.tv
-Okdiario.com
-Inquirer.net

 User Enumeration
  The first two user ID's were tested to determine if user enumeration is possible.

ID   User   Login
1   None   AfsAdmin
2   None   None
It is recommended to rename the admin user account to reduce the chance of brute force attacks occurring. As this will reduce the chance of automated password attackers gaining access. However it is important to understand that if the author archives are enabled it is usually possible to enumerate all users within a WordPress installation.

Directory Indexing
In the test an attempt was made to list the directory contents of the uploads and plugins folders to determine if Directory Indexing is enabled. This is a common information leakage vulnerability that can reveal sensitive information regarding your site configuration or content.

/wp-content/uploads/      enabled
/wp-content/plugins/      disabled
Directory indexing was tested on the /wp-content/uploads/ and /wp-content/plugins/ directores. Note that other directories may have this web server feature enabled, so ensure you check other folders in your installation. It is good practice to ensure directory indexing is disabled for your full WordPress installation either through the web server configuration or .htaccess.
