GitList Disclosure

What is the "GitList Disclosure?"

The "GitList Disclosure" module is designed to detect misconfigurations in GitList, a web-based interface for browsing and managing Git repositories. This module focuses on identifying instances where the GitList title tag is exposed, potentially revealing sensitive information about the repository.

This module has a low severity level, indicating that the impact of the vulnerability is relatively limited.

Impact

If the GitList Disclosure vulnerability is present, an attacker may be able to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information stored in the Git repository. This could include source code, configuration files, and other sensitive data.

How does the module work?

The "GitList Disclosure" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target website and analyzing the responses for specific conditions. It uses two matching conditions:

- Word Matcher: The module searches for the presence of the string "GitList" in the HTML response. If this string is found, it indicates that the GitList title tag is exposed. - Status Matcher: The module checks if the HTTP response status code is 200, indicating a successful request. This ensures that the module only matches valid responses.

By combining these matching conditions, the module can accurately identify instances where the GitList title tag is exposed, indicating a potential misconfiguration.

Example HTTP request:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: Vidoc

Note: The above example is a simplified representation of an HTTP request and may not include all headers or parameters used by the module.
