So here’s the deal. Themes on themeforest have a vulnerability which makes them easily scrape-able.

So to exploit this I made a python script to download any html theme from ThemeForest’s website.

Here’s the pseudo-code –

• Get attributes from python cli. Attributes are – link of the theme and location to download.
• Use selenium and webdriver to visit the theme’s page.
• Get the ‘href’ attribute of live preview button on the page.
• Use another driver to visit this page and get the ‘href’ attribute of ‘remove the border’ element.
• Use the almighty to mirror the theme page to the entered location.

I’ve written step by step guide and some other thoughts on this project on its GitHub page. I also made a demo video for the same.
