php dropper.phpwhich yieldsavFQkFVHq6.html
Here's the entirety of avFQkFVHq6.html:
<head>
<meta name="description" content="ok file uploaded">

</head>
Someone did try to access that file:
31.184.234.60 - - [28/Dec/2017:02:54:26 -0700] "GET /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/revslider/temp/update_extract/revslider/avFQkFVHq6.html HTTP/1.1" 404 1006 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.109 Safari/537.36"
Conveniently, the IP address that downloaded the dropper, tried to access the HTML file.
This just verifies that PHP can be downloaded, the dropper executed, and the resulting HTML accessed. At a guess, once those factors are verified, more malware gets downloaded, or maybe the WordPress can be considered owned, and sold on the black market.
