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.
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.
