Wordpress Theme Detection

The WordPress Theme Detection Scanner is a reconnaissance tool designed to identify the active theme used by a WordPress site. It analyzes publicly accessible assets, stylesheet references, and theme-specific file structures to determine which theme is in use—without requiring authentication.

This type of detection is crucial for assessing exposure to vulnerabilities associated with outdated, poorly coded, or abandoned themes. Attackers often exploit publicly known flaws in themes to gain access, inject code, or deface websites. By identifying the active theme, security teams can evaluate its reputation, development activity, and whether it's up to date with current security standards.

Administrators can use the scan results to apply necessary updates, replace insecure themes, or harden configurations to prevent theme-based attacks. This scanner supports proactive security monitoring of WordPress environments and reduces the risk of exploitation through theme-related vulnerabilities.
