What is CMSeeK?

CMSeeK is an open source penetration testing tool to automate the process of detecting various types of CMS and its installed extensions. Only the Joomla CMS is supported by secureCodeBox. CMSeeK has a database with known vulnerabilities.

To learn more about the CMSeeK scanner itself, visit the CMSeeK GitHub repository here.

Deployment

The cmseek chart can be deployed via helm:

# Install HelmChart (use -n to configure another namespace)
helm upgrade --install cmseek oci://ghcr.io/securecodebox/helm/cmseek

Scanner Configuration

The CMSeeK targets are specified with the -u parameter. The target should be a URL.

Additional CMSeeK scan features can be configured via the parameter attribute.

Some useful example parameters listed below:

  • -u URL, --url URL : Target Url.
  • --follow-redirect : Follows all/any redirect(s).
  • --no-redirect : skips all redirects and tests the input target(s)
  • -r, --random-agent: Use a random user agent.
  • --googlebot: Use Google bot user agent.
  • --user-agent USER_AGENT: Specify a custom user agent

Requirements

Kubernetes: >=v1.11.0-0

Values

KeyTypeDefaultDescription

parser.resourcesobject{ requests: { cpu: "200m", memory: "100Mi" }, limits: { cpu: "400m", memory: "200Mi" } }Optional resources lets you control resource limits and requests for the parser container. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/

scanner.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalationboolfalseEnsure that users privileges cannot be escalated
scanner.securityContext.capabilities.drop[0]string"all"This drops all linux privileges from the container.
scanner.securityContext.privilegedboolfalseEnsures that the scanner container is not run in privileged mode
