Impact

The impact of the "Adobe AEM External Link Checker Exposure" module is primarily informational. It helps identify potential misconfigurations in the external link checker feature of AEM, which could affect the accuracy and reliability of link checking functionality. However, it does not directly pose a security risk or vulnerability.

How does the module work?

The "Adobe AEM External Link Checker Exposure" module works by sending HTTP requests to specific paths in the AEM installation and applying matching conditions to identify misconfigurations. One example of an HTTP request sent by this module is:

GET /etc/linkchecker.html

The module uses the following matching conditions to determine if the external link checker feature is exposed:

- The response body contains the HTML title tag "<title>External Link Checker</title>". - The response header includes the content type "text/html". - The response status code is "200" (OK).

If all of these conditions are met, the module reports the potential exposure of the external link checker feature in AEM.
