CMSeeK

CMSeeK is a comprehensive tool for detecting and exploiting vulnerabilities in content management systems (CMS). A CMS manages the creation and modification of digital content, typically supporting multiple users in collaborative environments. The tool scans for over 180 CMSs including popular platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.

Use cases include reconnaissance of web applications to identify CMS versions, vulnerability assessment through deep scans, and multi-site scanning from target lists. It helps security professionals quickly fingerprint websites and check for known exploits.

The suite provides options for customizing scans, such as ignoring specific CMSs to reduce false positives, performing light scans for detection only, or following redirects. Verbose output and batch modes support efficient large-scale assessments.

CMSeeK operates by sending HTTP requests to target URLs, analyzing responses for CMS-specific fingerprints like file paths, headers, and content patterns across 180+ CMSs. It performs version detection and deep scans for vulnerabilities/exploits. User agents can be randomized or customized, with options to handle redirects, skip previously scanned targets, or focus on specific CMS IDs using strict or ignore modes.
