  • A The attacker used r57 exploit to elevate their privilege.
  • B The attacker uploaded the word press file manager trojan.
  • C The attacker performed a brute force attack against word press and used sql injection against the backend database.
  • D The attacker used the word press file manager plugin to upoad r57.php.
  • E The attacker logged on normally to word press admin page.
Explanation

The access sequence records a successful WordPress login followed by installation and activation of the File Manager plugin. Requests to wp-content/r57.php afterward indicate that r57.php was uploaded through that plugin and accessed. The successful authentication and access to wp-admin show normal login to the WordPress administrative area.
