CAS Login Panel - Detect

What is the "CAS Login Panel - Detect" module?

The "CAS Login Panel - Detect" module is designed to detect the presence of the CAS login panel. CAS, which stands for Central Authentication Service, is a single sign-on protocol that allows users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials. This module specifically targets the CAS login panel and checks if it is properly configured.

This module has an informative severity level, which means it provides valuable information but does not indicate a vulnerability or misconfiguration.

Impact

The impact of this module is purely informative. It does not perform any actions or make any changes to the target system. Instead, it provides insights into the presence and configuration of the CAS login panel.

How the module works?

The "CAS Login Panel - Detect" module works by sending a GET request to the "/cas/login" path of the target system. It then applies a matching condition to check if the response contains the phrase "Central Authentication Service". If the condition is met, the module considers the CAS login panel to be present.

By detecting the CAS login panel, this module helps administrators ensure that the CAS single sign-on protocol is properly implemented and functioning as expected.
