Description

The W3-Total-Cache Wordpress Plugin and its results in files for fast access. Version 0.9.2.4 has been fixed afterwards
so it can be vulnerable. These cache files are in the webroot of the Wordpress
installation and can be downloaded if the name is guessed. This module tries to
locate them with brute force in order to find usernames and password hashes in these
files. W3 Total Cache must be configured with Database Cache enabled and Database
Cache Method set to Disk to be vulnerable
