Impact

If the misconfiguration vulnerability detected by this module is exploited, it could lead to unauthorized access to the Pagekit CMS installer. This could potentially allow an attacker to gain control over the installation process, manipulate the database connection, or extract sensitive information. The impact of such an attack could range from unauthorized data access to complete compromise of the website or application.

How does the module work?

The "Pagekit Installer Exposure" module works by sending a specific HTTP request to the target system and analyzing the response. It checks for the presence of certain keywords in the response body, headers, and the HTTP status code to determine if the misconfiguration vulnerability exists.

For example, one of the matching conditions checks if the response body contains the words "Pagekit Installer" and "Connect database". If these keywords are found, along with a response status code of 200 and a content type of "text/html", the module flags the vulnerability as present.

By analyzing the response and matching conditions, the module provides an indication of whether the Pagekit CMS installer is misconfigured and potentially exposed to unauthorized access.
