Impact

If the "Adobe AEM Misc Admin Dashboard Exposure" vulnerability is successfully exploited, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to the AEM Misc Admin Dashboard. This could allow them to view, modify, or delete critical content, configurations, and settings within the AEM system. The impact of such unauthorized access can be severe, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized content modifications, and disruption of services.

How the module works?

The "Adobe AEM Misc Admin Dashboard Exposure" module works by sending HTTP requests to specific paths within the AEM system. It then applies matching conditions to determine if the vulnerability is present.

One example of an HTTP request sent by this module is a GET request to the "/miscadmin" path. The module checks for specific response conditions, including the presence of the "<title>AEM Tools</title>" or "<title>AEM MCM</title>" tags in the response body, the presence of the "text/html" header, and a response status code of 200.

If all the matching conditions are met, the module reports the vulnerability, indicating that the AEM Misc Admin Dashboard is exposed and potentially vulnerable to unauthorized access.

It is important to note that this module is just one test case within the Vidoc platform, which utilizes multiple modules to perform scanning and detection of various vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and software fingerprints.
