Impact

This module does not directly impact the system or application being scanned. Instead, it provides information about the presence of the R WebServer login panel, allowing users to assess the security posture of their system and take appropriate actions to mitigate any potential risks.

How does the module work?

The "R WebServer Login Panel - Detect" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the target system's root path ("/") and applying specific matching conditions to determine if the R WebServer login panel is present. The module uses two matchers to validate the presence of the login panel:

- Matcher 1: It checks if the response body contains the HTML title tag "<title>R WebServer</title>". - Matcher 2: It verifies if the HTTP response status code is 200 (OK).

If both matchers return positive results, the module reports the detection of the R WebServer login panel.

Example HTTP request:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: [target_host]

Note: Replace "[target_host]" with the actual hostname or IP address of the target system.
