- Removed the incorrect `sed` string replacement that converted `aarch64` to `arm64` when fetching the FrankenPHP binary in the `developer` Docker image. - This resolves the 404 Not Found error during CI builds, as FrankenPHP release assets use the native `aarch64` identifier.

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: A hardcoded secret token (
xrpc-9f8e7d6c5b4a) was used in an Nginx configuration file (server-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.conf) to conditionally bypass security controls and allow access to the/xmlrpc.phpendpoint via query parameters.🎯 Impact: If exploited or leaked, an attacker could use the token to bypass blocks and interact with the
/xmlrpc.phpendpoint, making the application vulnerable to XML-RPC brute-force attacks and DDoS vectors.🔧 Fix: Removed the hardcoded
$arg_tokencheck and replaced it with an unconditionaldeny all;block for the/xmlrpc.phplocation. Documented the pattern of hardcoding secrets in Nginx configurations as a critical learning in.jules/sentinel.md.✅ Verification: The Nginx configuration file
server-php/config/conf.d/wordpress.confwas directly inspected to ensure the patch is correct and syntactically valid.PR created automatically by Jules for task 17181186736318633728 started by @Snider
