Impact

This module helps identify potential security vulnerabilities in Firebase Realtime Database URLs. By detecting misconfigurations and security permission issues, it allows developers to address these concerns and ensure the security of their Firebase applications. Addressing these vulnerabilities can help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the Firebase Realtime Database.

How does the module work?

The "Google Firebase DB URL Finder" module works by analyzing the HTTP responses of the target application and matching them against predefined conditions. It uses regular expressions to search for patterns that indicate the presence of Firebase Realtime Database URLs. The module specifically looks for URLs containing the domain "firebaseio.com".

When a match is found, the module reports the vulnerability, allowing developers to take appropriate action to secure their Firebase Realtime Database URLs.

Example of a matching condition:

.*?(f|F)(i|I)(r|R)(e|E)(b|B)(a|A)(s|S)(e|E)(i|I)(o|O)[.](c|C)(o|O)(m|M).*?

This regular expression pattern searches for any occurrence of the string "firebaseio.com" within the HTTP response body.
