Impact

If misconfigurations are detected by this module, it means that sensitive configuration information of the Coremail server is exposed. This can include details such as database names, container definitions, and SMTP settings. Attackers could potentially leverage this information to gain unauthorized access to the server or perform other malicious activities.

How does the module work?

The "Coremail - Config Discovery" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the Coremail server with a specific path. It then applies matching conditions to the response to determine if misconfigurations are present.

One example of a matching condition is checking for specific words in the response, such as "<object name="cm_md_db">" and "<string name="EnableCoremailSmtp">". If any of these words are found, it indicates the presence of misconfigurations.

Additionally, the module verifies that the HTTP response status is 200, ensuring that the request was successful.

By combining these matching conditions, the module can accurately identify misconfigurations in the Coremail server.
