wpCodeGrabber

wpCodeGrabber is a simple script that facilitates the download of WordPress website code (Active theme + Installed plugins) directly from the wp-admin panel. This can be particularly useful for scenarios where direct access to cPanel or the web server is not available. Additionally, it can serve as a handy tool for auditing code for security vulnerabilities when access is limited to wp-admin panel.

Tested with WP 6.4 version.

Requirements

For the script to function properly, ensure the following conditions are met:

1. Theme and Plugin Editing should be enabled from wp-admin panel (default behaviour).
2. wordpress_sec_xxxxxxxx cookie of a wordpress account able to edit theme and plugin from wp-admin panel (e.g. admin) should be provided.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/trap-bytes/wpCodeGrabber.git

2. Navigate to the wpCodeGrabber directory:

   cd wpCodeGrabber

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. To run the script:

   python3 wpCodeGrabber.py -u <WordPress_URL> -c "<Cookies>"

   Replace <WordPress_URL> with the URL of the WordPress site and <Cookies> with the cookie string to be sent with the request. In order to run the script, the wordpress_sec_xxx=xyz cookie value should be enough.

2. Optionally, you can specify additional options:

   • -t or --theme: Download theme files only.
   • -p or --plugin: Download plugin files only.
   • -e or --extension: Specify additional extensions for file types.
   • -o or --output: Specify the output directory where the code will be saved.

Example

To download theme files only, including .svg files from a WordPress site with the URL https://example.com and cookie wordpress_sec_xxx=xyz, you would run:

python3 wpCodeGrabber.py -u https://example.com -c "wordpress_sec_xxx=xyz" -t -e svg

Note: You have to substitute the wordpress_sec_xxx cookie parameter and value with the ones returned by the Wordpress Website after login.
