Review: Firefox Hardening Baselines from Red-Team Tradecraft for Drupal/WordPress Admin and AI Coding Workflows
Most CMS incidents do not start with an RCE in Drupal core or WordPress core. They start with a browser session on a privileged laptop. If your admins, release engineers, and AI-assisted developers live inside browser tabs all day, your browser is part of your production control plane.
