Attack Analysis
WordPress XML-RPC Abuse
This IP accessed xmlrpc.php on a site where the owner has explicitly disabled it. xmlrpc.php is a legacy WordPress endpoint long abused for brute-force login attempts (via its multicall method) and DDoS pingback amplification; sites that don't need it disable it outright, making any access attempt inherently unwanted.
Backup & Database File Probe
This IP requested common backup file paths (.bak, .sql, .zip, wp-config.bak), hunting for database dumps or config files containing plaintext credentials. A single exposed wp-config.bak can hand an attacker full database access. This attack is automated and deliberate.
