SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl, python3, jq, nc, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the difficulty of manually auditing WordPress installations for common, high-impact security misconfigurations and known vulnerabilities that scanners often miss.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vulnerability Fingerprinting: Detects WordPress-specific attack surfaces including XMLRPC, REST API endpoints, and debug log exposure.
  • Exploitation Chains: Provides structured workflows for CORS credential reflection, XMLRPC brute force, and plugin-specific CVE exploitation.
  • Use Case: When auditing a target running WordPress, use this Skill to systematically enumerate users, probe for CORS misconfigurations, and identify vulnerable plugins like Revslider or ElementsKit to establish an exploit chain.

Quick Start

Use the hunt-wordpress skill to perform a full security audit on the target domain example.com to identify exposed REST endpoints and vulnerable plugins.

Frequently Asked Questions about hunt-wordpress

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find and exploit WordPress vulnerabilities during a pentest?

To find and exploit WordPress vulnerabilities, you need to systematically fingerprint attack surfaces like REST API endpoints and XMLRPC, then probe for misconfigurations and vulnerable plugin versions to establish an exploitation chain. This Skill automates that manual auditing workflow.

What is the best way to enumerate users and detect exposed WordPress REST API endpoints?

The best way to enumerate users and detect exposed WordPress REST API endpoints is by running structured fingerprinting scripts against the target domain. This Skill uses curl, python3, and jq to identify these misconfigurations and exposed debug logs that scanners often miss.

Can I brute force WordPress logins using XMLRPC during a security assessment?

Yes, you can brute force WordPress logins via XMLRPC. This Skill provides structured exploitation workflows specifically for XMLRPC abuse, allowing you to execute brute force attacks and identify system enumeration opportunities during manual penetration testing.

Do I need curl and python3 installed to audit WordPress plugin vulnerabilities?

Yes, you need curl, python3, jq, and nc installed. These dependencies are required to execute the fingerprinting and exploitation workflows against target infrastructure, enabling you to identify vulnerable plugins like Revslider or ElementsKit.

How does CORS credential reflection work when testing WordPress misconfigurations?

CORS credential reflection in WordPress misconfigurations allows attackers to capture user authentication data from cross-origin requests. This Skill provides structured exploitation workflows to probe these misconfigurations, enabling you to establish an exploit chain during offensive security assessments.
