BitBucket Pipelines Configuration Exposure

What is the "BitBucket Pipelines Configuration Exposure?"

The "BitBucket Pipelines Configuration Exposure" module is designed to detect misconfigurations in BitBucket Pipelines. BitBucket Pipelines is a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) platform provided by Atlassian. This module focuses on identifying potential security vulnerabilities in the configuration files used by BitBucket Pipelines.

The severity of this module is classified as informative, which means it provides valuable information about potential security risks but does not directly exploit or compromise the system.

This module was authored by DhiyaneshDK.

Impact

If misconfigurations are detected in the BitBucket Pipelines configuration files, it could lead to unintended exposure of sensitive information or unauthorized access to the CI/CD pipeline. This can potentially result in data breaches, compromised deployments, or unauthorized code execution.

How the module works?

The "BitBucket Pipelines Configuration Exposure" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target system and analyzing the responses. It specifically targets the "/bitbucket-pipelines.yml" file, which is the configuration file for BitBucket Pipelines.

The module uses two matching conditions to identify potential misconfigurations:

- Matchers: The module looks for specific keywords, such as "pipelines:" and "step:", within the content of the "/bitbucket-pipelines.yml" file. If these keywords are found, it indicates the presence of pipeline configuration information. - Status: The module checks if the HTTP response status code is 200, which indicates a successful request. If the status code is 200, it suggests that the "/bitbucket-pipelines.yml" file is accessible.

By combining these matching conditions, the module can identify potential misconfigurations in the BitBucket Pipelines configuration files.
