Protect wordpress against malicious URL requests
wordpress snippet
Fantastic snippet from Perishable Press this snippet is great for the security to protect wordpress against malicious URL requests. I have attached a zip file with a download of this snippet as a plugin. Just ftp the single php file to your plugins folder and active as normal.
snippet : PHPcopy
global $user_ID; if($user_ID) {
if(!current_user_can('administrator')) {
if (strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) > 255 ||
stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "eval(") ||
stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "CONCAT") ||
stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "UNION+SELECT") ||
stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "base64")) {
@header("HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Long");
@header("Status: 414 Request-URI Too Long");
@header("Connection: Close");
@exit;
}
}
}
