wordpress-hacking

A collection of procedures for examining WordPress websites, including the WordPress core system, plugins, themes, APIs, and login-related features. WordPress is software used to build and manage websites.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for authorized WordPress security testing, including site detection, version fingerprinting, plugin and theme checks, and vulnerability investigation.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to identify a WordPress installation and version before checking for relevant weaknesses.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wordpress-hacking scanned grade A with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

curl -s -d 'log=admin&pwd=wrong&wp-submit=Log+In' https://TARGET/wp-login.php | grep -oP 'Error.*?<'

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 313 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WordPress Hacking

WordPress powers over 40% of the web. Its attack surface is massive: core engine, 60,000+ public plugins, 10,000+ themes, REST API, XML-RPC, admin-ajax, custom PHP endpoints, WooCommerce storefronts, and multisite networks. A single outdated plugin can give you a shell. Master the enumeration-to-exploitation pipeline and you will pop WordPress sites systematically.

Triage Workflow

Follow this sequence for every WordPress target. Each step feeds the next.

Step 1 -- Confirm WordPress and Detect Version

Before running any scanner, confirm the target is WordPress and fingerprint the exact version. This determines which CVEs apply.

# Quick confirmation — check meta generator, login page, and common paths
curl -sI https://TARGET/ | grep -i 'x-powered-by\|x-redirect-by\|link.*wp-json'
curl -s https://TARGET/ | grep -oP 'content="WordPress \K[0-9.]+'
curl -s https://TARGET/readme.html | head -20
curl -s https://TARGET/feed/ | grep '<generator>'
curl -s https://TARGET/wp-includes/js/wp-emoji-release.min.js | head -1

Multiple version detection methods exist because admins disable some but rarely all. See references/wp-enum.md for the full fingerprinting matrix.

Record findings immediately:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/findings-tracker.js add \
  "https://TARGET" info-leak "wp-version" INFO \
  "WordPress X.Y.Z detected via meta generator"

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/target-intel.js add \
  "TARGET" tech-stack "cms" "wordpress-X.Y.Z" --source "version-detection"

Step 2 -- Security Plugin Detection

Before aggressive scanning, identify security plugins that will block or log you. This dictates your OPSEC profile.

# Check for common security plugin signatures
curl -s https://TARGET/ | grep -iE 'wordfence|sucuri|ithemes-security|better-wp-security|all-in-one-wp-security|shield-security|bulletproof'
curl -sI https://TARGET/wp-login.php | grep -i 'x-sucuri\|x-waf'
curl -s https://TARGET/wp-content/plugins/ 2>/dev/null | grep -oP 'href="[^"]*"' | grep -iE 'wordfence|sucuri|ithemes|bulletproof|shield|cerber'

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

wordpress-hacking is a skill published in the GitHub repository ogrodev/fsociety (20 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 370 tokens to every session and 3,708 once invoked, about $0.0019 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
