Impact

This module helps identify misconfigurations in the user registration panel of WordPress websites. By detecting these issues, website owners can take necessary actions to secure their user registration process and prevent potential security breaches.

How the module works?

The "WordPress User Registration Panel - Detect" module works by sending a GET request to the "/wp-login.php" path of the target WordPress website. It then applies several matching conditions to determine if a misconfiguration exists in the user registration panel.

The matching conditions include:

- Checking if the response body contains the string "?action=register\"" - Verifying if the response header includes the string "text/html" - Ensuring that the response status code is 200

If all of these conditions are met, the module identifies a potential misconfiguration in the user registration panel of the WordPress website.
