Cookie Security in WordPress 2.5

April 24th, 2008 by Ryan

To make cookies secure against attacks where someone has managed to get into your database through an SQL injection exploit or other means, WordPress 2.5 introduced a user-definable constant called SECRET_KEY. If you look at the sample wp-config.php shipped with 2.5, you’ll see these lines.

// Change SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,
// so make it long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm
// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.
define(’SECRET_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); // Change this to a unique phrase

If you upgraded from a previous version of WordPress you probably won’t have these lines in your wp-config.php. Regardless, defining SECRET_KEY and giving it a unique phrase will give your cookies some added security. To make adding a secret key easier, we’ve created a web page that will create the full statement needed to define SECRET_KEY complete with a strong, randomly-generated phrase. Go to api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/ for a line you can cut-and-paste into your wp-config.php file. Here’s some sample output:

define('SECRET_KEY', 'C~1Vr5|!meuT$j`Y.:i&*Cd=O^N0XWD_HzHruzl-?R%LPzlzQ( q^KSW[dmcK;vw');

Cut-and-paste that entire line into your wp-config.php. You can put it after the define statements for the database settings. If you already have SECRET_KEY defined in your wp-config.php, delete the existing line and add the new line. After you add your SECRET_KEY, all users on your blog that are logged in will be logged out. They’ll have to log back in to get a new cookie. If you ever need to force all users to log out, changing SECRET_KEY is an easy way to do so. Don’t worry that changing SECRET_KEY will affect passwords; it affects only login cookies. And don’t worry about having to remember that long random phrase. WordPress will never ask you to input that phrase. It’s just there to act a piece of randomness, frozen in time, for use in creating more secure login cookies for your blog.

Update: As mentioned in the comments, don’t directly copy the example I have above.  Visit api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/ to get your own secret key.  Get a different secret for each of your blogs.

When you add the SECRET_KEY line, add it after the ‘<?php’ tag on the first line.  It has to be between the first line and the last line of wp-config.php, in between the ‘<?php’ and ‘?>’ tags.  In a future version of WP, we’ll try to do this for you automatically if your server config allows WP to write to your wp-config.php file.  That way you won’t have to edit any PHP files.
