Impact

If misconfigurations are detected in the ownCloud configuration, it could potentially expose sensitive information or weaken the security of the platform. This could lead to unauthorized access, data leaks, or other security risks.

How does the module work?

The "owncloud Config - Detect" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/owncloud/config/" path and analyzing the response. It uses two matching conditions to determine if a misconfiguration is present:

- The module checks if the response body contains the words "Index of" and "owncloud/config". This indicates that the ownCloud configuration page is accessible and potentially exposed. - It also verifies that the HTTP response status code is 200, indicating a successful request.

If both conditions are met, the module reports a potential misconfiguration in the ownCloud configuration.

Example HTTP request:

GET /owncloud/config/ HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
