WordPress wp2shell RCE Chain Exploited in Mass Scanning Campaign
- Engineer — Act: Both CVEs have public PoCs and exploitation is already underway with mass scanning — patch all WordPress instances to the fixed versions immediately and audit exposed sites for webshell artifacts, especially any unexpected PHP files or modified themes.
- SOC/IR — Act: Active exploitation confirmed since early Saturday UTC; hunt for webshell uploads and anomalous POST requests targeting WordPress endpoints across your estate, and sweep for post-compromise persistence on any internet-facing WordPress hosts.
- Leader — Plan: Active exploitation with mass scanning is in progress but hasn’t reached Log4Shell-scale board attention yet; confirm whether WordPress appears in your web portfolio and ensure it’s on your engineering team’s immediate patching queue this week.
