Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Detect unauthenticated POST requests to the wp01_generate_zip_archive AJAX action, which triggers the path traversal vulnerability. Look for the 'action=wp01_generate_zip_archive' parameter in requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. ↗
- →Monitor for GET requests to /wp-content/wp01-backup/ directory, especially for ZIP files, which indicates successful exploitation and file exfiltration. ↗
- →The exploit uses a two-stage HTTP flow: first a POST to generate the ZIP archive, then a GET to download it. Correlate both requests from the same source IP to identify exploitation attempts. ↗
- ·The vulnerability is unauthenticated (PR:N), meaning no WordPress login is required to exploit it. Detection rules should not filter out unauthenticated requests to the AJAX endpoint. ↗
- ·Affected versions are WP01 up to and including 2.6.2. Version 2.6.3 and later contain the fix; ensure detections are scoped to vulnerable plugin versions where version fingerprinting is possible. ↗
