Comment:

 Hello @gigibirjo welcome to Trac and thank you for posting.

 From what you have said it does not look like a core WordPress bug. Trac
 is for finding and fixing bugs in WordPress core.

 To my understanding it looks like your site is somehow exposed to bots.
 This might have happened due to installation of some plugins which have
 security vulnerabilities.

 Because this started happening recently, please check what plugin you have
 installed lately. I would suggest you to disable such plugin/s and check
 if this still persists.

 Choosing a plugin is very important. Before you install, check for its
 compatibility with your version of WordPress, last updated date and of
 course how many active installs were done till date. More the number of
 installs better the safety you gain!
