Also baffled that three separate people came to that conclusion. Do they not run web servers on the open web or something? Script kiddies are constantly probing urls, and urls come up in your logs. Sure it would be bad if that was how your app was architected. But it's not how it's architected, it's how the skids hope your app is architected. It's not like if someone sends me a request for /wp-login.php that my rails app suddenly becomes WordPress??

You're absolutely right. That's my mistake — you are requesting a specific version of WordPress, but I had written a Rails app. I've rewritten the app as a WordPress plugin and deployed it. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Until AI crawlers chased me off of the web, I ran a couple of fairly popular websites. I just so rarely see anybody including passwords in the URLs anymore that I didn't really consider that as what the commenter was talking about.

Just about every crawler that tries probing for wordpress vulnerabilities does this, or includes them in the naked headers as a part of their deluge of requests.
