Wordpress Pingback Locator
Description
This module will scan for wordpress sites with the Pingback API enabled. By interfacing with the API an attacker can cause the wordpress site to port scan an external target and return results. Refer to the wordpress_pingback_portscanner module. This issue was fixed in wordpress 3.5.1

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
