Report for IP: 158.94.211.165

This IP requested an installed plugin or theme's readme.txt/changelog.txt directly over HTTP — the file's "Stable tag:" line names the exact installed version, which an attacker cross-references against known CVEs for that version before firing the real exploit. WordPress.org's own tooling reads this file server-side, never over HTTP.

• Spamhaus DROP — Spamhaus DROP lists netblocks hijacked or leased by professional spam and cybercrime operations. Very low false-positive rate: no legitimate traffic is expected from these ranges.
• FireHOL level1 — FireHOL level1 merges DShield, Spamhaus DROP, bogon ranges and Feodo botnet servers into one curated list built for very low false positives. When DShield or Spamhaus DROP also match, this one adds no independent evidence, since it already contains them.

Curated, low-false-positive lists match, so this is a high-confidence bad address.

This IP is on the Spamhaus DROP list — a dataset of netblocks hijacked or leased by professional spam and cybercrime operations with no legitimate users. Traffic from DROP-listed ranges is considered hostile by design. Blocking is unconditional.

This IP rapidly probed multiple non-existent PHP paths in under 60 seconds — a hallmark of automated webshell scanning tools hunting for previously uploaded backdoors or vulnerable file-upload endpoints. If successful, a webshell grants the attacker full remote code execution on the server.
