Protect WSDL files
Summary
WSDL files containing sensitive information must not be publicly accessible.
Description
Some web services architectures require exposing a WSDL file. If this file contains sensitive information, such as deprecated methods or administrative services, it should not be available to a wider audience than it requires. If it must be available on a very public network, like the internet, then it should not contain any sensitive information.
