Suddenly get charged fro Functions Level 1

Hi, my website has been running for years, will very low traffic, since the last deploy (no major changes) I get charged $25 for Functions Level 1.

I have 3 new functions created at the same time of the deployment, and Next.js SSR handler is full of wordpress content logs, while my website is not running wordpress !!!

What is going on here ?

@oliviermtl Looks like someone is scanning your website for WordPress vulnerabilities and because you’re running Next.js with SSR the function is handling all of the requests that they’re making, and thus costing you money.

Here’s a related thread:
https://answers.netlify.com/t/site-being-vulnerability-scanned-for-weeks-causing-excessive-function-invocations-what-can-i-do/125940

Strangely the thread that I linked to within that one, that contained a ready made solution you could deploy to reject the requests, has seemingly been deleted/hidden by Netlify’s staff?

Thanks @nathanmartin

waiting for netlify to unlock the solution

Whatever the solution might be this is insane. I will just move the 3 websites I host on netlify somewhere else where I do not have these surprises
