 * This request for the WordPress “self” oEmbed. It provides the URLs needed to 
   enable embedding the content of the WordPress site in other sites and they are
   required for oEmbed Discover.
 * They are for other sites to consume your content, and if you don’t care about
   it, just remove it. If you are dedicating time for some cleanup, you should probably
   clean them as well.

 * It’s not a security problem. Those are embeds. They’re normal.
