Understanding Log Entry

Hello,

Can someone help me understand these log entries:

[2020-03-30 04:48:21] ERROR[9722] pjproject: sip_transport.c Error processing 393 bytes packet from UDP 37.49.226.118:54632 : PJSIP syntax error exception when parsing 'Contact' header on line 8 col 10:

-- end of packet.

I changed our FreePBX IP in the above log to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Thanks,
John

Notwithstanding their stated intent to be ‘friendly’, this is a bot scanning for vulnerabilities by attempting to REGISTER to your PBX.

And PJSIP blocked it almost immediately because they’ve violated the SIP specification, and the REGISTER request is invalid.

@lgaetz + @jcolp - So it is not something I should worry about, or is there some action I should take?

Adjust your hardware and/or FreePBX firewall to deny access to port 5060, except from authorized endpoints and trunks.
