What It Does

This dork searches for websites running ReloadCMS, a lightweight PHP-based content management system developed between 2004-2005. The query matches the copyright footer text these installations display. Results expose sites using this abandoned CMS which has known vulnerabilities including arbitrary file upload, cross-site scripting, and local file inclusion flaws that were never patched.

Common Use Cases

  • Abandoned CMS Detection: Identify active websites still running ReloadCMS, a PHP CMS that hasn't been maintained since 2005, making every installation a potential target with unpatched arbitrary file upload and XSS vulnerabilities.
  • Historical Vulnerability Research: Study ReloadCMS installations to understand how legacy PHP applications handle security, useful for training or developing detection signatures for similar abandoned CMS platforms.
  • Asset Inventory During Penetration Tests: During authorized engagements, discover forgotten ReloadCMS installations within a target's infrastructure that may have been deployed years ago and never decommissioned, representing shadow IT risk.

How to Use Safely

  1. Search Google for "2004-2005 ReloadCMS Team." to locate websites displaying the ReloadCMS copyright footer, indicating active installations of this abandoned CMS.
  2. Examine each result to confirm it's a live ReloadCMS site by checking for characteristic URL patterns (/index.php?p=) and the admin panel (/admin/).
  3. Review known ReloadCMS vulnerabilities including arbitrary file upload via the admin panel and XSS in user input fields to assess the potential impact.
  4. Report discovered installations to their operators with a recommendation to migrate to a supported CMS platform, as ReloadCMS will never receive security updates.
