How does the module work?

The "NodeBB Web Installer" module operates by sending HTTP requests to the target website and analyzing the responses based on predefined matching conditions. It checks for specific patterns in the response body and headers to identify the presence of the NodeBB Web Installer and the creation of an administrator account.

Example HTTP request:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

The module's matching conditions include:

- Checking if the response body contains the phrases "NodeBB Web Installer" and "Create an Administrator account". - Verifying that the response header includes "text/html". - Ensuring that the HTTP status code is 200 (OK).

If all the matching conditions are met, the module will report a vulnerability, indicating the potential presence of a misconfiguration or exposure in the NodeBB web installer.
