description = [[ Tries to give a list of installed WordPress plugins. The script will brute force the /wp-content/plugins/ folder with a dictionnary of 14K (and counting) known WP plugins. Anything but a 404 means that a given plugin directory probably exists, so the plugin probably also does. The available plugins for Wordpress is huge and despite the efforts of Nmap to parallelize the queries, a whole search could take an hour or so. That's why the plugin list is sorted by popularity and by default the script will only check the first 100 ones. Users can tweak this with an option (see below). ]] --- -- @args http-wp-plugins.root If set, points to the blog root directory on the website. If not, the script will try to find a WP directory installation or fall back to root. -- @args http-wp-plugins.search As the plugins list contains tens of thousand of plugins, this script will only search the 100 most popular ones by default. -- Use this option with a number or "all" as an argument for a more comprehensive brute force. -- -- @usage -- nmap --script=http-wp-plugins --script-arg http-wp-plugins.root="/blog/",http-wp-plugins.search=500 -- --@output -- Interesting ports on my.woot.blog (123.123.123.123): -- PORT STATE SERVICE REASON -- 80/tcp open http syn-ack -- | http-wp-plugins: -- | search amongst the 500 most popular plugins -- | akismet -- | wp-db-backup -- | all-in-one-seo-pack -- | stats -- |_ wp-to-twitter author = "Ange Gutek " license = "Same as Nmap--See http://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html" categories = {"discovery", "intrusive"} require 'http' require 'stdnse' require 'shortport' local DEFAULT_PLUGINS_SEARCH = 100 portrule = shortport.service("http") action = function(host, port) local result = {} local all = {} local bfqueries = {} --Check if the wp plugins list exists local wp_plugins_file = nmap.fetchfile("nselib/data/wp-plugins.lst") if not wp_plugins_file then return false, "Couldn't find wp-plugins.lst (should be in nselib/data)" end local file = io.open(wp_plugins_file, "r") if not file then return false, "Couldn't find wp-plugins.lst (should be in nselib/data)" end local wp_autoroot local wp_root = stdnse.get_script_args("http-wp-plugins.root") local plugins_search = DEFAULT_PLUGINS_SEARCH local plugins_search_arg = stdnse.get_script_args("http-wp-plugins.search") if plugins_search_arg == "all" then plugins_search = nil elseif plugins_search_arg then plugins_search = tonumber(plugins_search_arg) end stdnse.print_debug(1, "%s plugins search range: %s", SCRIPT_NAME, plugins_search or "unlimited") -- search the website root for evidences of a Wordpress path if not wp_root then local target_index = http.get(host,port, "/") if target_index.status and target_index.body then wp_autoroot = string.match(target_index.body, "http://[%w%-%.]-/([%w%-%./]-)wp%-content") if wp_autoroot then wp_autoroot = "/" .. wp_autoroot stdnse.print_debug(1, "%s WP root directory: %s", SCRIPT_NAME, wp_autoroot) else stdnse.print_debug(1, "%s WP root directory: wp_autoroot was unable to find a WP content dir (root page returns %d).", SCRIPT_NAME, target_index.status) end end end --identify the 404 local status_404, result_404, body_404 = http.identify_404(host, port) if not status_404 then stdnse.print_debug(1, "%s unable to handle 404 pages (%s)", SCRIPT_NAME, result_404) end --build a table of both directories to brute force and the corresponding WP plugins' name local plugin_count = 0 while true do local line = file:read() if not line then break end if plugins_search and plugin_count >= plugins_search then break end local target if wp_root then -- Give user-supplied argument the priority target = wp_root ..
