Web Enumeration ⬇️

got a directory —> /wordpress/

with wpscan tool I got 2 users ➡️

I also found a vulnerability through wpscan in reflex-gallery plugins of wordpress so lets exploit it now »

Now with metasploit I exploit this »

Now lets run this ⤵️

Now lets look into wp-config.php file ➡️

Now let’s see the SUID’s files ➡️

So I think with this I will copy the /etc/passwd file , access with wget and modify with new user addon.

Now let’s access the passwd file in attackers machine ⤵️

Now lets add a user named as shiv and passwordas password in passwd file.

Lets see the passwd file ➡️
