I’m trying to run shell_exec() in a LocalWP env. I can run pwd, but something as simple as ls returns NULL. I need to be able to shell_exec() because I’m building a security scanner that runs wpscan and returns the results. Thanks!

Have you tried using the full path to ls or wpscan, @tomstuurlui ? For example: var_dump(shell_exec('/bin/ls')); Gives me the output I expect: string(330) "index.php license.txt local-phpinfo.php local-xdebuginfo.php readme.html test.php wp-activate.php wp-admin wp-blog-header.php wp-comments-post…

Why can't I run shell_exec in LocalWP sites?
