I would never do something like that. It’s actually a sad story: I had a server that had to be exposed to the public, and not long ago, it was compromised by the latest PHP vulnerability. Fortunately, the damage wasn’t too severe. Since then, my policy has been to only expose services to the public that must be accessible to strangers, and I never expose administrative access points to the public internet. SSH access is restricted to key-based authentication, and the admin panel is accessible only from the internal network or via VPN. Two-factor authentication protects against password guessing, but it cannot prevent vulnerabilities that can be exploited before the login process even begins.
If you actually got pwned by the latest PHP vuln, you need to talk to the security researchers who are running all these honeypots and only managed to capture unsuccessful exploitation attempts.
An actual working exploit in the wild is real news
