The generic rate-limits are tuned high for media-heavy sites, so slow credential-stuffing on wp-login.php slips under them. Add a dedicated sc1 stick-table (backend wp_bruteforce, 60s window) that counts POSTs to wp-login.php per real client IP and tarpits once an IP exceeds 30/min. Only login POSTs are counted (browsing + the login form GET + a legit user's few attempts are unaffected); an offending IP can still browse, just not keep hammering login. Honors the existing whitelist (RFC1918 / trusted_ips.list / trusted_ips.map) and the already-resolved CF/proxy real IP. path_end also covers subdirectory WP installs. Stops attacks at the edge before they reach PHP/WordPress, on all edges regardless of Coraza mode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
