WP-XSS-Admin-Funcs

JavaScript functions intended to be used as an XSS payload against a WordPress admin account.

Only use this code for pentesting systems you're authorized to touch. Or I will be seriously grumpy in your general direction.

Note that if you're uploading a plugin using this payload, your wordpress plugin zip file will need to be encoded and embedded in the JavaScript. See this converter: https://github.com/hoodoer/javascriptFileEncoder

There's a blog post writeup on weaponizing XSS payloads here:

https://www.trustedsec.com/blog/tricks-for-weaponizing-xss/

You can see a demo/webinar on how to go about developing code like this here:

Note that in the webinar I stated that you cannot control/set the 'Referer' header from your XSS payload. This is incorrect.

You can set the referer using a simple trick, see this gist for an example:

There's a blog post going over how to control the referer value using that code snippet here:
