Impact

The impact of the Apache Ranger Detection module is primarily informational. It helps identify potential security weaknesses or misconfigurations in Apache Ranger, allowing users to take appropriate actions to mitigate any risks.

How does the module work?

The Apache Ranger Detection module utilizes HTTP request templates and matching conditions to identify the presence of Apache Ranger. It sends specific HTTP requests and analyzes the responses to determine if the target system exhibits characteristics associated with Apache Ranger.

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

GET /login.jsp

The module then applies matching conditions to the response to determine if Apache Ranger is present. The matching conditions include:

- Checking if the response body contains the string "<title> Ranger - Sign In</title>". - Verifying that the HTTP response status code is 200 and the result of a specific DSL condition is true.

If any of the matching conditions are met, the module will report a detection of Apache Ranger.
