Impact

If the account and password information on Kyan network monitoring devices is exposed, it can potentially lead to unauthorized access to the devices and the network they are monitoring. This can result in unauthorized configuration changes, data breaches, and other security risks.

How does the module work?

The "Kyan network monitoring device account and password exposure" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target devices and analyzing the responses. It uses a set of matching conditions to identify potential vulnerabilities. One example of a matching condition is checking if the response contains the strings "UserName=" and "Password=" in any part of the response body. Additionally, it checks if the response headers include "text/plain" and if the HTTP status code is 200.

By analyzing the responses based on these matching conditions, the module can determine if the account and password information is exposed on the Kyan network monitoring devices.

Example HTTP request:

GET /hosts

Matching conditions:

- Response body contains "UserName=" and "Password=" - Response headers include "text/plain" - HTTP status code is 200 Reference:
