Incorrect nginx rules from WP Toolkit
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE
Plesk 18.0.47 update 5, CloudLinux 8.6 x64
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
If you choose block access to wp-config.php or to sensitivity files you cant use url on your site like this https://***domain***/posts/wp-config-php-ultimate-guide.html
I think you should use something like wp\-config\.php instead of wp-config\.php in the nginx location regex.
Original regex looks like:

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
If you choose block access to wp-config.php or to sensitivity files you cant use url on your site like this https://***domain***/posts/wp-config-php-ultimate-guide.html
I think you should use something like wp\-config\.php instead of wp-config\.php in the nginx location regex.
Original regex looks like:
NGINX:
#extension wp-toolkit begin
# "Block unauthorized access to wp-config.php"
# To remove this rule, revert this security measure on each WordPress installation on this domain
location ~* wp-config.php { deny all; }
# "Block access to sensitive files"
# To remove this rule, revert this security measure on each WordPress installation on this domain
location ~* "(?:wp-config\.bak|\.wp-config\.php\.swp|(?:readme|license|changelog|-config|-sample)\.(?:php|md|txt|htm|html))" {
return 403;
}
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Go to WordPress, choose the installation you want to secure, and then, on the installation card,
click the message “Fix security” - Wait for WP Toolkit to display the security measures you can
apply. - Select "Block unauthorized access to wp-config.php" and/or "Block access to sensitive files"
- Create any file/url on website starts with wp-config and open in browser
ACTUAL RESULT
403 error
