HiveManager Login Panel - Detect

What is the "HiveManager Login Panel - Detect?"

The "HiveManager Login Panel - Detect" module is designed to detect the presence of the HiveManager login panel. HiveManager is a software used for managing Aerohive networks. This module focuses on identifying the login panel and does not perform any further actions. The severity of this module is classified as informative, meaning it provides valuable information but does not pose a direct security risk. The original authors of this module are binaryfigments and daffainfo.

Impact

This module does not have any direct impact as it only detects the presence of the HiveManager login panel. However, the information gathered can be used to assess the security posture of the target system and identify potential misconfigurations or vulnerabilities.

How does the module work?

The module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/hm/login.action" path. It then applies matching conditions to determine if the response indicates the presence of the HiveManager login panel. The matching conditions include checking the response headers for the word "HiveManager" and the response body for the words "HiveManager" and "alt="Aerohive". The module uses an "or" condition, meaning that if any of the matching conditions are met, the module will consider the HiveManager login panel to be detected.

Example HTTP request:

GET /hm/login.action

The module matches the following conditions:

- Response header contains the word "HiveManager" - Response body contains the words "HiveManager" and "alt="Aerohive"

When these conditions are met, the module reports the detection of the HiveManager login panel.
