CR4SH3R – Fast WordPress Plugin Vulnerability Scanner

A few months ago, a friend asked me to check his WordPress site for vulnerabilities. What I found shocked me – critical flaws exposing sensitive data everywhere. That's why I built CR4SH3R: a focused tool to detect Arbitrary File Download flaws before attackers do Key Features: Lightning-fast multi-threaded scanning, Extracts credentials from exposed files (like wp-config.php), Generates actionable Excel reports, Simple GUI for one-click security checks Would love your feedback!

CR4SH3R – Fast WordPress Plugin Vulnerability Scanner launched on April 19, 2025 with 5 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

A tool to exploit WordPress plugin vulnerabilities and extract database credentials - m-o-z-z-i-x/CR4SH3R

Vulnerability scanner designed to detect Arbitrary File Download flaws in WordPress plugins. It scans a website using a predefined set of paths to extract sensitive data such as database credentials from wp-config.php Disclaimer: This project is provided under the MIT License and is intended strictly for educational and authorized security testing purposes . The author disclaims all liability for any misuse, damage, or legal consequences. By using this software, you take full responsibility for your actions and agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations You can expand detection by adding your own vulnerable paths to the «Vulnerable Path List» file!

    Hi HN! We kept seeing devs get pwned through MCP tools in ways that security scanners completely miss. So we built an open-source analyzer to catch these attacks. Our first OSS by Mighty team. The problem: At Defcon, we saw MCP exploits with 100% success rate against Claude and Llama. Three attack patterns: Hidden Unicode in "error messages" - Paste a colleague's error into Claude, your SSH keys get exfiltrated Trusted tool updates - That database tool you've used for months? Last week's update added credential theft Tool redefinition - Malicious tool redefines "deploy to prod" to run…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
