RISK

Why waf_set_site_status is rated Medium

This tool changes the active state of Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection for a site. While reversible (can be re-enabled), disabling WAF creates a serious security exposure by removing attack protection. This is a Write operation (modifies configuration state) rather than Destructive (data is not deleted/lost).

From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'Enable or disable WAF protection for a specific site' — modifies the security configuration state of a site by toggling WAF status, which is a reversible configuration change.
