Summary Overview of XML-RPC Vulnerabilities: As a lightweight remote call protocol for inter-system communication, XML-RPC is exposed to various threats such as RCE, XXE, DDoS, and privilege escalation. Notable Cases: NodeBB (CVE-2023-43187), Apache OFBiz (CVE-2020-9496), PHP XML-RPC (CVE-2005-1921), etc. Real-World Use Cases: In addition to WordPress, Bugzilla, ManageEngine, and Apache OFBiz, XML-RPC is still used in some legacy systems. Mitigation Strategies: Disabling XML-RPC, enhancing input validation, reinforcing authentication systems, applying up-to-date security patches, implementing access control, and deploying WAFs.
