The "ASP-Nuke - Open Redirect" module is designed to detect an open redirect vulnerability in the ASP-Nuke software. ASP-Nuke is a web application framework that allows users to create and manage content-driven websites. This module specifically targets the open redirect vulnerability, which can be exploited by attackers to redirect users to malicious websites.
The severity of this vulnerability is classified as medium, indicating that it has the potential to cause significant harm if exploited.
An open redirect vulnerability in ASP-Nuke can lead to various security risks, including:
- Phishing attacks: Attackers can redirect users to fake websites that mimic legitimate ones, tricking them into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. - Malware distribution: By redirecting users to malicious websites, attackers can infect their devices with malware, compromising their security and privacy. - Identity theft: Redirecting users to fraudulent websites can enable attackers to steal personal information, which can be used for identity theft or other malicious purposes.The "ASP-Nuke - Open Redirect" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target website and analyzing the responses for specific patterns. It uses a predefined request template that includes the path and method to trigger the open redirect vulnerability.
For example, the module may send a GET request to the path "/gotoURL.asp?url=interact.sh&id=43569". It then checks the response headers for a specific pattern using regular expressions. If the response header contains a location that matches the pattern, indicating a redirect to the "interact.sh" domain, the module flags the vulnerability as detected.
The matching condition in this module uses a regular expression to check the "Location" header for a redirect to the "interact.sh" domain. Regular expressions are powerful patterns that allow for flexible and precise matching of text.
By detecting and reporting open redirect vulnerabilities in ASP-Nuke, this module helps website owners identify and mitigate potential security risks, protecting their users from potential attacks.
