Altair WordPress theme v4.8 - Directory Listing

What is Altair WordPress theme v4.8 - Directory Listing?

The Altair WordPress theme v4.8 - Directory Listing module is a test case developed for the Vidoc platform. It aims to detect a directory listing vulnerability specific to websites using the Altair WordPress theme version 4.8. This module is designed to identify misconfigurations that could potentially expose sensitive information to unauthorized users.

The severity of this module is classified as informative, indicating that it provides valuable insights into potential vulnerabilities but does not pose an immediate threat to the security of the website.

Impact

If the Altair WordPress theme v4.8 - Directory Listing vulnerability is present, it could allow unauthorized users to access directory listings on the website. This could potentially expose sensitive information, such as file and folder structures, that may aid attackers in further exploiting the website.

How the module works?

The Altair WordPress theme v4.8 - Directory Listing module works by sending HTTP requests to specific paths within the website's file structure. It then applies matching conditions to determine if the directory listing vulnerability is present.

An example of an HTTP request sent by this module would be:

GET /wp-content/themes/altair/modules/

The module uses two matching conditions to identify the vulnerability:

- Matcher 1: It checks if the response contains the phrases "Index of" and "wp-content/themes/altair". This indicates that a directory listing page is being displayed. - Matcher 2: It verifies that the HTTP response status is 200, indicating a successful request.

If both matching conditions are met, the module flags the presence of the directory listing vulnerability.
