Pantheon Takeover Detection

What is the "Pantheon Takeover Detection" module?

The "Pantheon Takeover Detection" module is designed to detect potential takeover vulnerabilities in the Pantheon software. It is a module used in the Vidoc platform for scanning and testing purposes. The severity of this module is classified as high.

Impact

If a takeover vulnerability is detected in the Pantheon software, it could allow unauthorized individuals to gain control over the system. This can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential disruption of services.

How the module works?

The "Pantheon Takeover Detection" module works by using HTTP request templates and matching conditions to identify potential takeover vulnerabilities. It checks for specific conditions that indicate a possible takeover, such as misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in the Pantheon software.

One example of a matching condition is checking if the host is not an IP address. This helps identify potential takeover vulnerabilities that may be present in domain names.

The module also checks for specific words in the response, such as "The gods are wise, but do not know of the site which you seek." This can indicate a potential takeover vulnerability.

Additionally, the module excludes any hosts that contain the domain "apigee.io" to avoid false positives.

By analyzing the HTTP responses and matching conditions, the module can identify potential takeover vulnerabilities in the Pantheon software.
