CMSmap

CMSmap is a python open source CMS scanner that automates the process of detecting security flaws of the most popular CMSs. The main purpose of CMSmap is to integrate common vulnerabilities for different types of CMSs in a single tool.

At the moment, CMSs supported by CMSmap are WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and Moodle.

Please note that this project is an early state. As such, you might find bugs, flaws or mulfunctions. Use it at your own risk!

Installation

You can download the latest version of CMSmap by cloning the GitHub repository:

 git clone https://github.com/Dionach/CMSmap

Then you need to configure the edbtype and edbpath settings in the cmsmap.conf. Use GIT if you have a local Git repository of Exploit-db :

[exploitdb]
edbtype = GIT
edbpath = /opt/exploitdb/

Alternatively, use APT if you have installed the debian exploitdb package. For Kali, use the following settings :

[exploitdb]
edbtype = APT
edbpath = /usr/share/exploitdb/

If you would like to run cmsmap from anywhere in your system you can install it with pip3 :

cd CMSmap
pip3 install .

To uninstall it :

pip3 uninstall cmsmap -y

                        force scan (W)ordpress, (J)oomla or (D)rupal
  -F, --fullscan        full scan using large plugin lists. False positives and slow!
  -t , --threads        number of threads (Default 5)
  -a , --agent          set custom user-agent
  -H , --header         add custom header (e.g. 'Authorization: Basic ABCD...')
  -i , --input          scan multiple targets listed in a given file
  -o , --output         save output in a file
  -E, --noedb           enumerate plugins without searching exploits
  -c, --nocleanurls     disable clean urls for Drupal only
  -s, --nosslcheck      don't validate the server's certificate
  -d, --dictattack      run low intense dictionary attack during scanning (5 attempts per user)

  -p , --psw            password or password file
  -x, --noxmlrpc        brute forcing WordPress without XML-RPC

Post Exploitation:

  -w , --wordlist       wordlist file

Others:
  -v, --verbose         verbose mode (Default false)
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -D, --default         rum CMSmap with default options
  -U, --update          use (C)MSmap, (P)lugins or (PC) for both
