Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Monitor HTTP requests targeting the path 'export/content.php' on WordPress installations, particularly those including an 'exportarticles' action parameter, which indicates exploitation of the WP Mobile Pack information disclosure vulnerability. ↗
- →The Metasploit auxiliary module 'scanner/http/wp_mobile_pack_info_disclosure' can be used as a reference for building detection signatures around automated exploitation attempts against this vulnerability. ↗
- ·The NVD advisory states the vulnerability affects versions before 2.0.2, but the Metasploit module targets version 2.1.2 specifically — detection logic should cover a broad version range rather than a single pinned version. ↗
- ·The vulnerability bypasses WordPress password-protected post restrictions, meaning exploitation does not require authentication — unauthenticated requests to the export endpoint should be treated as suspicious. ↗
