title: WordPress Wp2shell REST Batch Endpoint Exploitation (CVE-2026-63030)

Detects exploitation attempts against the WordPress REST batch endpoint (CVE-2026-63030) using
6+
the wp2shell PoC tool. The tool sends POST requests to the batch endpoint via the
7+
?rest_route=/batch/v1 query parameter, covering all attack phases from initial probe through
8+
SQL injection and pre-auth admin creation. A 207 response confirms the endpoint is active on
9+
the target.

Detects post-exploitation access to the wp2shell webshell plugin dropped after successful
6+
exploitation of CVE-2026-63030. After the pre-auth SQLi-to-admin bridge is established,
7+
the attacker can upload a malicious plugin (wp2shell) to the target WordPress instance.
8+
At this phase, the attacker accesses the webshell for command execution and persistence.
