WordPress XML-RPC Abuse
This IP targeted xmlrpc.php, a legacy WordPress endpoint that has been abused for brute-force authentication attacks, credential stuffing, and DDoS amplification. Any direct access to xmlrpc.php is an attack or reconnaissance attempt; modern WordPress sites should disable it entirely.
Webshell Upload Scan
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.
