The "Caucho Resin - Information Disclosure" module is designed to detect an information disclosure vulnerability in Caucho Resin, a Java application server. This vulnerability occurs due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to potentially obtain sensitive information.
This module has been classified with a severity level of "informative". It is important to address this vulnerability to prevent potential data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.

An information disclosure vulnerability in Caucho Resin can have serious consequences for the affected application. If exploited, an attacker can gain access to sensitive information, which may include user credentials, database details, or other confidential data. This can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential compromise of the entire system.
The "Caucho Resin - Information Disclosure" module works by sending specific HTTP requests to the target application. It checks for the presence of certain patterns in the response body and verifies the HTTP status code to determine if the vulnerability is present.
For example, one of the HTTP requests sent by this module is:
GET /resin-doc/viewfile/?file=/WEB-INF/resin-web.xml /%20../web-inf/web.xml
The module then applies matching conditions to the response to confirm the presence of the vulnerability. These conditions include:
- Checking if the response body contains the "" tags - Verifying that the HTTP status code is 200If both conditions are met, the module reports the vulnerability.
It is crucial to address this vulnerability by properly sanitizing user input and implementing security measures to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
