Pipfile.lock Disclosure

What is the "Pipfile.lock Disclosure?"

The "Pipfile.lock Disclosure" module is designed to detect the exposure of the Pipfile.lock file. The Pipfile.lock file is a dependency lock file used in Python projects managed by the Pipenv tool. This module focuses on identifying potential misconfigurations or vulnerabilities related to the Pipfile.lock file.

This module has an informative severity level, which means it provides valuable information but does not indicate an immediate security risk.

This module was authored by DhiyaneshDK.

Impact

The exposure of the Pipfile.lock file can potentially reveal sensitive information about the project's dependencies and their versions. This information can be useful for attackers to identify potential vulnerabilities or exploit known weaknesses in the dependencies.

How does the module work?

The "Pipfile.lock Disclosure" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/Pipfile.lock" path. It then applies matching conditions to determine if the Pipfile.lock file is exposed and contains specific keywords.

One example of a matching condition is checking if the response body contains the keywords "\"pipfile-spec\":" and "\"requires\"". Additionally, the module verifies that the HTTP response status is 200 (OK).

By analyzing the response and matching conditions, the module can identify if the Pipfile.lock file is exposed and potentially disclose sensitive information.
