Is this request resulting in a 404? If not then I would be concerned even if you are not seeing a file. If the result is a 404 and there is no file present I would be less concerned as it may be a script looking for a specific exploit by scanning WordPress sites. Either way, it’s extremely important when running WordPress to ensure that both WordPress and your OS are kept up to date by running regular updates and using caution about which plugins and themes you install.
