How the module works?

The "AEM WCM Suggestions Servlet" module operates by sending HTTP requests to the targeted AEM web application. It then evaluates the responses based on predefined matching conditions to determine if any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations exist.

One example of an HTTP request sent by this module is:

/bin/wcm/contentfinder/connector/suggestions.json;%0aOJh.css?query_term=path%3a/&pre={%randTextAlphanumeric(10)%}

This request is a GET method that targets the AEM WCM Suggestions Servlet. It includes specific query parameters and a randomly generated alphanumeric value. The module expects a response with a status code of 200 and specific words such as "{{randstr}}", "\"results\":", and "\"suggestions\":" to indicate the presence of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.

The matching conditions used by this module include checking the response status code and searching for specific words within the response body. These conditions help identify potential issues related to the AEM WCM Suggestions Servlet.
