wordstress

Wordstress is an opensource whitebox security scanner for wordpress powered websites.

Description

Wordstress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordstress/

This is a fork of the original wordstress project: https://github.com/thesp0nge/wordstress

The primary goal of this python module was to help those who are struggling to inventory their wordpress sites, and to correlate the results with wpvulndb to make an indexable json output. I created this python module because I found most of the wordstress ruby gems weren't being updated anymore, and I know python better than ruby. Also the existing ruby gem versions were lacking a verbose indexable output, as well as a full inventory of all plugins, themes, and core versions.

wordstress.py will run against whatever you define in ./conf/sites.conf and POST those results to your splunk HTTP Event Collector

Installation

Plugin install:

To install the wordstress plugin for wordpress you must:

  • download wordstress.zip and unpack the content to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  • activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
  • navigate the Settings->Wordstress admin page
  • every time you enter wordstress setting page, a new key is automagically generated, to increase entropy you may want to reload the page a couple of times. When you're comfortable with the generated key, press the "Save Changes" button. The virtual page is now available at the url http://youblogurl/wordstress?wordstress-key=the_key

wordstress Install

Clone this repo and install all of the prereqs. Configure settings in ./conf/ . Written for python 3

pip install requests
pip install BeautifulSoup4

Splunk HTTP Event Collector

A Splunk HTTP Event collector is needed to POST data to. For more info please see http://dev.splunk.com/view/event-collector/SP-CAAAE7F

Usage

Configure all of the items in ./conf/settings.conf and ./conf/sites.conf, and run python wordstress.py. View results in splunk.
