Kish Guest Posting attack?
I recieved an email recently from WordPress Firewall which said the following.
WordPress Firewall has detected and blocked a potential attack!
Web Page:
//wp-content/plugins/kish-guest-posting/uploadify/scripts/uploadify.php?folder=
Warning: URL may contain dangerous content!
Offending Parameter:
$_FILE = wp-xml.php
This may be a "Executable File Upload Attack."
I Googled "kish guest posting". It seems its a plugin, but I don't have this plugin installed nor have I ever used this plugin, so what is likely the reason for this message? Does it look like someone is trying to upload a plugin to gain access?
