• → Monitor HTTP GET requests targeting the path /media/com_biblestudy/backup/ for direct retrieval of .sql backup files, which indicates unauthenticated backup download exploitation of CVE-2018-7317. ↗
• → Alert on any HTTP 200 response serving a .sql file from the /media/com_biblestudy/backup/ directory, as this path should never be publicly accessible. ↗

• · The backup filename pattern includes a Unix timestamp and date string (e.g., *_jbs-db-backup_YYYY_Month_DD_<timestamp>.sql); detection rules should use a wildcard/regex pattern rather than matching the exact example filename. ↗
