wordpress-penetration-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zebbern/claude-code-guide. It costs 64 tokens per session (3,209 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-assessment skill for WordPress sites, including checks of users, themes, plugins, configuration, vulnerabilities, and credentials. A penetration test is an authorised attempt to find and demonstrate security weaknesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for authorised WordPress enumeration, vulnerability scanning, credential checks, and documenting proof of exploitation.
Why use it?
It helps site owners understand where a WordPress installation could be exposed before a real attacker finds the same weaknesses.

About the project

Claude Code Guide is a reference collection for configuring and using Claude Code, Anthropic’s command-line coding agent. Developers use it to learn commands, skills, agents, MCP, automation, security, integrations, and troubleshooting. Its catalogue add-ons provide many of the documented skills and agents.

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-penetration-testing 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 yesterday.

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 -X POST -d "log=admin&pwd=wrongpass" http://target.com/wp-login.php

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.

WordPress Penetration Testing

Purpose

Conduct comprehensive security assessments of WordPress installations including enumeration of users, themes, and plugins, vulnerability scanning, credential attacks, and exploitation techniques. WordPress powers approximately 35% of websites, making it a critical target for security testing.

Prerequisites

Required Tools

  • WPScan (pre-installed in Kali Linux)
  • Metasploit Framework
  • Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP
  • Nmap for initial discovery
  • cURL or wget

Required Knowledge

  • WordPress architecture and structure
  • Web application testing fundamentals
  • HTTP protocol understanding
  • Common web vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)

Outputs and Deliverables

  1. WordPress Enumeration Report - Version, themes, plugins, users
  2. Vulnerability Assessment - Identified CVEs and misconfigurations
  3. Credential Assessment - Weak password findings
  4. Exploitation Proof - Shell access documentation

Core Workflow

Phase 1: WordPress Discovery

Identify WordPress installations:

# Check for WordPress indicators
curl -s http://target.com | grep -i wordpress
curl -s http://target.com | grep -i "wp-content"
curl -s http://target.com | grep -i "wp-includes"

# Check common WordPress paths
curl -I http://target.com/wp-login.php
curl -I http://target.com/wp-admin/
curl -I http://target.com/wp-content/
curl -I http://target.com/xmlrpc.php

# Check meta generator tag
curl -s http://target.com | grep "generator"

# Nmap WordPress detection
nmap -p 80,443 --script http-wordpress-enum target.com

Key WordPress files and directories:

  • /wp-admin/ - Admin dashboard
  • /wp-login.php - Login page
  • /wp-content/ - Themes, plugins, uploads
  • /wp-includes/ - Core files
  • /xmlrpc.php - XML-RPC interface
  • /wp-config.php - Configuration (not accessible if secure)
  • /readme.html - Version information

Phase 2: Basic WPScan Enumeration

Comprehensive WordPress scanning with WPScan:

# Basic scan
wpscan --url http://target.com/wordpress/

# With API token (for vulnerability data)
wpscan --url http://target.com --api-token YOUR_API_TOKEN

# Aggressive detection mode
wpscan --url http://target.com --detection-mode aggressive

# Output to file
wpscan --url http://target.com -o results.txt

# JSON output
wpscan --url http://target.com -f json -o results.json

# Verbose output
wpscan --url http://target.com -v

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-penetration-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository zebbern/claude-code-guide (4,600 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 3,209 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
