Description

This article describes how to use a custom event handler in FortiAnalyzer to raise alerts for incident response related to attacks that attempt to leverage the WordPress WPGateway Plugin vulnerability. A report is also provided to gain historical visibility into the logs.

 

The article will be continually updated as more information becomes available.

Scope
