How does WordSec protect against this?
This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: Debug Log Manager Tool 1.5 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
