 * All,
 * Just started some penetration testing on my wordpress installs, and noticed wpscan
   was saying I had the feed plugin installed. I don’t.
 * So I tried going to [http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/feed/](http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/feed/)
   and indeed, I get an RSS feed. Hmm. Then I just did /wp-content/feed, and again,
   I get an RSS feed.
 * This seems broken. /feed should only work off existing posts, or root, not off
   wp-content, etc. /wp-admin/feed/ does the same thing.
 * It’s not a security issue (that I can think of), but it certainly leads to false
   positives, and seems sloppy. Note, in all cases, the RSS feed is just the header
   info, but no actual posts in it…
 * Thoughts? File a bug?

 * Is there anything in the feed other than the blog’s description? Anyway, I think
   it’s just how it handles “feed” when is sees it in the URL.
 * Mine does the same thing.
 * In fact if I type in a non existent directory like /zebra/feed/, I’ll get a RSS
   feed with just blog description.

 * No, there’s no content other than site name, etc. Still seems like it’s being
   overzealous with it’s permalinks.
 * Think I should file a bug? it’s obviously not critical, but it does seem like
   this is not how the system should function.
