Impact

The impact of the "Piwik Installer Exposure" module depends on the specific misconfigurations detected. If vulnerabilities are found, they could potentially expose sensitive information or allow unauthorized access to the Piwik installation. However, since the severity is classified as low, the potential impact is likely to be limited.

How does the module work?

The "Piwik Installer Exposure" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target Piwik installation and analyzing the responses based on predefined matching conditions. It checks for the presence of specific words, such as "Piwik" and "Installation status," in the body of the response. Additionally, it verifies that the response header contains the word "text/html" and that the HTTP status code is 200 (OK).

By evaluating these conditions, the module determines whether the Piwik installation is potentially misconfigured or vulnerable. It does not directly modify or interact with the Piwik installation, but rather provides information about its status.

Example HTTP request:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: Vidoc-Scanner

Matching conditions:

- The response body must contain the words "Piwik" and "Installation status". - The response header must contain the word "text/html". - The HTTP status code must be 200 (OK).
