# XMLRPC Exploitation Skill
5-phase exploitation pipeline for WordPress XMLRPC endpoints. Covers bulk detection, method enumeration, SSRF via `pingback.ping`, amplified brute force via `system.multicall` (1000x amplification), and RCE via `wp.uploadFile` when open registration is present. XMLRPC is open on ~52% of WordPress targets found via wp-mass-recon.
## When to Use
- `wp-mass-recon` detected XMLRPC returning HTTP 200 on POST.
- Target has WordPress with open registration (chain: upload → webshell → RCE).
- Need a brute-force amplification vector for WordPress credentials.
- Probing for internal SSRF via `pingback.ping` to cloud metadata endpoints.
## Prerequisites
- `terminal` with curl.
