What It Does

This dork searches for websites running Loudblog, an open-source podcast/blog CMS that has been abandoned since 2006. The query matches the default footer text that Loudblog installations display. Results typically reveal outdated, unpatched installations vulnerable to multiple known exploits including SQL injection (CVE-2006-5062) and remote file inclusion.

Common Use Cases

  • Legacy CMS Discovery: Identify websites still running Loudblog installations that haven't been updated in over a decade, indicating poor security maintenance and likely vulnerable to known exploits.
  • Abandoned Software Audit: During penetration testing engagements, locate Loudblog instances within a target's infrastructure to flag them as high-risk assets running end-of-life software with no security patches available.
  • Attack Surface Mapping: Map out organizations using deprecated CMS platforms as part of reconnaissance, since Loudblog has known SQL injection and file inclusion vulnerabilities that remain unpatched.

How to Use Safely

  1. Enter the exact query "Powered by Loudblog" in Google search to find active Loudblog installations displaying the default footer text.
  2. Review the search results to identify live Loudblog sites — look for podcast hosting pages, personal blogs, and small community sites that haven't migrated to modern platforms.
  3. Check the Loudblog version by examining the page source or admin panel path (/loudblog/admin/) to determine which specific vulnerabilities (CVE-2006-5062, CVE-2006-5826) may apply.
  4. Document findings and report vulnerable installations to the site owners through responsible disclosure, as these sites likely have no active maintainer aware of the security risks.
