Why whmcs_module_change_password needs a policy

Changing a password on a service account is an external operation that modifies credentials on a hosting/service module. It is not a simple data write (reversible record update) but rather triggers an action on an external system (the module) that changes authentication credentials. This could lock out legitimate users or enable unauthorized access, making it high severity.

How to control whmcs_module_change_password

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Whmcs, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for whmcs_module_change_password:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "whmcs_module_change_password": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "whmcs_module_change_password_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

whmcs_module_change_password stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Whmcs — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
