How do bots exploit vulnerabilities in content management systems?

Bots exploit vulnerabilities in content management systems like outdated plugins or misconfigurations by scanning the internet for websites running these systems, identifying known vulnerabilities in the plugins or configurations, and then launching automated attacks to exploit these weaknesses. They often try common exploits or known security issues specific to the CMS being used, which can include escalating privileges, injecting malicious code, or taking control of the website. It’s essential to keep CMS software and plugins up to date and follow security best practices to prevent such exploits.
