This code is no longer maintained, and the updates likely don't work. Additionally, OSVDB is no more so that functionality won't work at all. If you are testing against Wordpress it's recommended you use WP-Scan.

Program Name: CMS Explorer
Purpose: Look for installed plugins/themes for a CMS
Version: 1.0
Code Repo: https://github.com/sullo/CMS-Explorer
Dependencies: LibWhisker
Getopt::Long
This program attempts to brute-force guess the plugins and themes installed in a CMS by requesting each plugin or theme name and looking at the response codes.
The software can currently brute force themes and plugins/modules in:
- Wordpress
- Drupal
- Joomla!
- Mambo
The lists for Wordpress and Drupal are pulled directly from their development repos, and Joomla/Mambo were lovingly hand carved.
Optionally, a "bootstrap proxy" can be specified, which is separate from the normal request proxy. If the bsproxy is set, any found plugins or themes will be requested through this proxy, and any exploration requests (see below) will be sent through it as well. This is a useful option to send dirs/files through a proxy such as Burp or Paros.
If the -explore option is used, the SVN/CVS repo will be checked to get a list of possible file names for each installed theme or plugin. This list of files is then requested through the bsproxy so they can be further checked for security issues. This only works for Drupal and Wordpress as they provide central repositories for user submitted modules.
The -osvdb option will search osvdb.org for vulnerabilities in the products installed components. You must create an account on osvdb.org and put your API key in a file named 'osvdb.key'. An account gives you 100 queries per day, or make a donation for a higher limit.
This program requires:
- Getopt::Long perl module
- LibWhisker (LW2) by rain.forrest.puppy (included)
OSVDB API Key (optional): http://osvdb.org/api/about
- Plugin and theme names are from the base directory checked-in to the Wordpress or Drupal repo. In some cases, this top-level directory does not match the install directory name.
- Joomla! and Mambo do not have central repos for plugins or themes, so they must be manually gathered. If you have a list, or even a few, send them over or commit them to the source tree!
-bsproxy+ Proxy to route findings through (format: host:ip
or http://host:ip/, default port 80)
-explore Look for files in the theme/plugin dir
-osvdb Search OSVDB.org for vulnerabilities
-plugins Look for plugins (default: on)
-pluginfile+ Plugin file list
-proxy+ Proxy for requests (format: host:ip or
http://host:ip/, default port 80)
-themes Look for themes (default: on)
-themefile+ Theme file list (default: themes.txt)
-type+* CMS type: Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, Mambo
-update Update lists from Wordpress/Drupal (over-writes
text files)
-url+* Full url to app's base directory
-verbosity+ 1-3
- Test for Wordpress plugins/themes on example.com, low verbosity and explore using the bootstrap proxy 'localhost' on port 8080
./cms-explorer.pl -url http://example.com/ -v 1 -bsproxy \
http://localhost:8080/ -explore -type wordpress
- Test for Wordpress themes on example.com using themelist.txt, full verbosity and explore using the bootstrap proxy 'localhost' on port 80
./cms-explorer.pl -url http://example.com/ -v 3 -bsproxy localhost \
-explore -themes -themefile themelist.txt -type wordpress
- Test for Drupal plugins/themes on example.com, quietly with no exploration
- Test for Mambo components
./cms-explorer.pl -url http://example.com/ -type joomla
