    Hey Seth, most Rock admins will see this fairly often. It's attackers trying to see if your server is vulnerable to a specific PHP exploit. Rock isn't affected, you're fine!

      If they really bother you, it’s possibe to filter such bogus requests before they get to Rock by using URL Rewriter in IIS.
