Can Someone Hack My site if I accidentally sent links to comments? (4 posts)

    May be a silly question but I responded to a comment thru the email address left, but I accidentally left all the links at the bottom to my admin dashboard where is says approve comment, spam it, trash it, etc.

    Can someone use those links to sign in if I am already signed in?

    Do I need to change anything now that they have access to the admin panel?

    Thanks -

  2. Can someone use those links to sign in if I am already signed in?

    Nope. If they click those links, they'll be asked to log in first.

    thank God - thank you. I guess it goes by the mac address or something?

  4. Nope. You have to be logged in for those links to work. That requires a cookie set on the client for your authentication and also uses a nonce for the action in the link.

    Between the two you're safe.
