What is WPScan and why does it matter?
A security scanner specializing in WordPress: identifies kernel version, plugins, themes, users, and sensitive interfaces, and compares them against a database of known vulnerabilities.
Before scanning: authorization and scope
How to work within the law and an agreed scope, and why brute-force password cracking is only used in formal, authorized exercises.
Linux Installation
Three ways to get it working:
  • Kali Linux, with the system package
  • Any distribution, via RubyGems
  • Docker, ideal for controlled environments
Additionally, how to update the database and use the API token.
CLI options and enumeration modules
What does each option do?--url, -and, --api-token, --throttle, --format…) and when to use each module: plugins, themes, users, exposed backups, and more.
Step-by-step practical cases
  • Initial recognition
  • List of vulnerable plugins and themes
  • User enumeration
  • Controlled testing of weak passwords
  • Exporting results for traceability
How to read and interpret the results
What weight to give to each section of the report: kernel version, exposed interfaces, CVEs and severity, accessible users and backups. Moving from a list of data to a risk assessment.
From technical evidence to governance
Asset inventory, patch cycle, identities, third-party plugins, metrics for management, and how to bring the result into a conversation with the business.
Purple team approach, checklist, and registration template
How to share findings with development and the detection team, a checklist of best practices, and a template to document each scan.
