 Please consider adding a referrer to wp-cron API POST requests.

 Reason being is that 100% of malicious POST requests do not use a
 referrer. 99.9999% of valid POST requests of course use a referrer. The
 only one being wp-cron api that does not.

 Yes, easy enough to alter a rule set to allow wp-cron to POST, or setup a
 manual cron. But I see no reason why a referrer cannot be added.

 Thanks.
