Magnolia CMS Login Panel - Detect

What is the "Magnolia CMS Login Panel - Detect" module?

The "Magnolia CMS Login Panel - Detect" module is a test case designed to detect the presence of the Magnolia CMS login panel. Magnolia CMS is a content management system used for building websites and digital experiences. This module specifically focuses on identifying any misconfigurations or vulnerabilities related to the login panel. The severity of this module is classified as informative, meaning it provides valuable information but does not pose an immediate threat. The original author of this module is not specified.

Impact

This module does not directly impact the functionality or security of the Magnolia CMS. Instead, it serves as a tool to identify potential issues or weaknesses in the configuration of the login panel. By detecting misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, administrators can take appropriate actions to enhance the security of their Magnolia CMS installation.

How the module works?

The "Magnolia CMS Login Panel - Detect" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/.magnolia/admincentral" path of the target website. It then applies two matching conditions to determine if the Magnolia CMS login panel is present:

- The module checks the response body for the presence of the phrase "Magnolia is a registered trademark". This indicates that the login panel is likely present. - The module also checks the response header for the presence of the "text/html" content type. This ensures that the response is in HTML format, which is expected for the login panel.

If both matching conditions are met, the module reports a successful detection of the Magnolia CMS login panel. This information can be used by administrators to assess the security posture of their Magnolia CMS installation and take appropriate actions if necessary.
