securecodebox/scanner-wpscan repository overview

⁠What is OWASP secureCodeBox?

OWASP secureCodeBox⁠ is an automated and scalable open source solution that can be used to integrate various security vulnerability scanners with a simple and lightweight interface. The secureCodeBox mission is to support DevSecOps Teams to make it easy to automate security vulnerability testing in different scenarios.

With the secureCodeBox we provide a toolchain for continuous scanning of applications to find the low-hanging fruit issues early in the development process and free the resources of the penetration tester to concentrate on the major security issues.

The secureCodeBox project is running on Kubernetes⁠. To install it you need Helm⁠, a package manager for Kubernetes. It is also possible to start the different integrated security vulnerability scanners based on a docker infrastructure.

⁠Quickstart with secureCodeBox on Kubernetes

You can find resources to help you get started on our documentation website⁠ including instruction on how to install the secureCodeBox project⁠ and guides to help you run your first scans⁠ with it.

⁠Supported Tags

• latest (represents the latest stable release build)
• tagged releases, e.g. 3.0.0, 2.9.0, 2.8.0, 2.7.0

⁠How to use this image

This scanner image is intended to work in combination with the corresponding parser image to parse the scanner findings to generic secureCodeBox results. For more information details please take a look at the project page⁠ or [documentation page][https://www.securecodebox.io/docs/scanners/WPScan⁠].

docker pull securecodebox/scanner-wpscan

⁠What is WPScan?

WPScan is a free, for non-commercial use, black box WordPress vulnerability scanner written for security professionals and blog maintainers to test the security of their sites.

To learn more about the WPScan scanner itself visit wpscan.org⁠.

⁠Scanner Configuration

The following security scan configuration example are based on the WPScan Documentation⁠, please take a look at the original documentation for more configuration examples.

• Scan all plugins with known vulnerabilities: wpscan --url example.com -e vp --plugins-detection mixed --api-token WPVULNDB_API_TOKEN
• Scan all plugins in our database (could take a very long time): wpscan --url example.com -e ap --plugins-detection mixed --api-token WPVULNDB_API_TOKEN
• Password brute force attack: wpscan --url example.com -e u --passwords /path/to/password_file.txt
• WPScan keeps a local database of metadata that is used to output useful information, such as the latest version of a plugin. The local database can be updated with the following command: wpscan --update
• When enumerating the WordPress version, installed plugins or installed themes, you can use three different "modes", which are:
  • passive
  • aggressive
  • mixed If you want the most results use the "mixed" mode. However, if you are worried that the server may not be able to handle many requests, use the "passive" mode. The default mode is "mixed", except plugin enumeration, which is "passive". You will need to manually override the plugin detection mode, if you want to use anything other than the default, with the --plugins-detection option.
• WPScan can enumerate various things from a remote WordPress application, such as plugins, themes, usernames, backed up files wp-config.php files, Timthumb files, database exports and more. To use WPScan's enumeration capabilities supply the -e option.
