EXP-UNK-C2B853 is an inferred behavioral cluster in the Mothlight observatory. An exploit bot that sends requests designed to trigger a known vulnerability. An attempt is not evidence of compromise. This profile describes observed requests and classification evidence, not the intent of every visitor sharing a signature.
Questions, answered
Is confidence the same as AI likelihood?+
No. Confidence measures support for the assigned label (out of 100). AI likelihood estimates evidence for AI involvement (out of 100). Identity verification is reported separately.
Evidence strength is a heuristic score out of 100, not a probability. Percentages elsewhere on this page state their denominator in the section text.
What this actor is
An exploit bot that sends requests designed to trigger a known vulnerability. An attempt is not evidence of compromise.
Label: Exploit bot (EXP) · Inferred cluster (grouped by shared client signature; not a proven person or organisation).
Verification: Inferred cluster — no vendor identity claim to verify; the label comes from observed behaviour.

What this actor does
Mostly GET requests to / from 3 sources across 1 persona; 3 distinct paths observed; no exploitation attempts observed.
Based on 3 requests from 3 distinct sources. Buckets with fewer than 3 events or 2 sources are hidden. IPs are never listed here; user agents are shown only as product families. Percentages in breakdowns use the publishable buckets shown as their denominator.
Activity over time
Window adapts to available data since first seen; empty early periods are trimmed and labelled, not stretched across a 30-day axis.
Not enough data yet. Technique, service and CVE breakdowns appear when a bucket reaches at least 3 events from at least 2 distinct sources.
Robots, canary and honeytoken behaviour
Robots compliance: Not measured yet for this actor.
Canary follows: 0 publishable canary follows
Honeytoken uses: 0 publishable honeytoken uses
Following a canary or using a honeytoken is behavioural evidence; it does not by itself prove AI involvement or intent.
Related bots
No related bots above the similarity threshold.
No publishable related actors yet. Related actors are publishable bots sharing a known-bot identity, cluster label, or technique set; withheld single-source actors are not listed here.
Most requested paths
Not enough data yet. Top paths appear when a path reaches at least 3 events from at least 2 distinct sources.
