Attack Analysis
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.
Git Repository Exposure Probe
This IP requested the /.git/ directory, attempting to download source code, commit history, database credentials, and API keys from an accidentally exposed Git repository. Automated tools can reconstruct an entire codebase from an exposed .git folder. No legitimate client ever requests this path.
WordPress REST API Route-Confusion Exploit (wp2shell)
This IP attempted the "wp2shell" exploit chain (CVE-2026-63030 / CVE-2026-60137) — a WordPress core REST API vulnerability where the /batch/v1 endpoint's route dispatch can be confused into bypassing authentication, then chained with a SQL injection for unauthenticated remote code execution. Publicly weaponized since July 2026 with automated exploit toolkits circulating on GitHub. Patched in WordPress core 7.0.2 and 6.9.5 — any unpatched site remains fully exposed to this pre-auth RCE.
