wordpress-plugin-hunt

wordpress-plugin-hunt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from uphiago/recon-skills. It costs 19 tokens per session (4,050 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A WordPress security-testing workflow that identifies installed plugins and checks known plugin versions for published vulnerabilities, also called CVEs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for authorized testing of WordPress installations, plugin discovery, version detection, and checking possible vulnerability-based attack paths.
Why use it?
WordPress sites may expose plugin information, and outdated plugins can provide security weaknesses that ordinary page inspection misses.

About the project

Recon Skills is a pack of security-testing skills covering reconnaissance, web applications, APIs, authentication, vulnerability validation, cloud infrastructure, and reporting. Security professionals use it for authorized assessments of systems they own or have written permission to test. The catalogue entries are individual skills from the pack.

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 B, and why

wordpress-plugin-hunt scanned grade B 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 6d 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.

Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -sk "https://$TARGET/wp-json/gf/v2/forms" 2>/dev/null | python3 -m json.tool | head -20

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

WordPress Plugin Hunt Skill

Discover installed WordPress plugins through REST API namespace probing, readme.txt version detection, and HTML/JS source analysis. Cross-reference discovered versions against known CVEs for exploitation. WordPress plugin vulnerabilities are one of the most reliable paths to RCE — confirmed CVEs include Elementor, Slider Revolution, ElementsKit, Gravity Forms, Jetpack, WooCommerce, and LiteSpeed Cache.

When to Use

  • WordPress confirmed on target (via wp-mass-recon).
  • Running deep-invade Phase 3.
  • You need an exploitation vector beyond CORS/XMLRPC.
  • Target has a plugin-heavy WordPress site (e-commerce, page builder, forms).

Prerequisites

  • terminal with curl, python3.
  • WordPress target confirmed (/wp-json/ or /wp-login.php accessible).
  • For CVE exploitation: knowledge of specific CVE PoCs (reference security-arsenal skill).

How to Run

# Quick plugin namespace scan (30+ plugins)
TARGET="example.com"
for ns in "revslider/v1" "elementskit/v1" "elementor/v1" "gf/v2" "wc/v3" \
  "jetpack/v4" "litespeed/v1" "yoast/v1" "acf/v3" "contact-form-7/v1" \
  "solidwp-mail/v1" "wpsl/v1" "redirection/v1" "rankmath/v1"; do
  code=$(curl -sk -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 5 --connect-timeout 5 "https://$TARGET/wp-json/$ns")
  [[ "$code" != "404" ]] && echo "FOUND: /wp-json/$ns (HTTP $code)"
done

wordpress-plugin-hunt is a skill published in the GitHub repository uphiago/recon-skills (1,242 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 4,050 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
