Yes, in a number of ways. First, it can constrain the WordPress process so
that whatever is needed to get the exploit into WordPress is blocked.
Second, even if that hole is wide open, it could prevent such a shell from
being launched. And third, it could constrain suspicious outgoing
connections, making a reverse shell attack impossible.
