Impact

If sensitive storage data is exposed, it can pose a significant risk to the security and privacy of the affected system. This can potentially lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and other malicious activities.

How the module works?

The "Sensitive Storage Data Exposed" module works by sending HTTP requests to specific paths related to storage in the targeted software. It then applies matching conditions to identify instances where sensitive data may be exposed.

For example, one of the HTTP requests sent by this module could be a GET request to paths such as "/storage/", "/api_smartapp/storage/", "/equipbid/storage/", and others. The module applies matching conditions to check if the response contains specific words like "Index of", "oauth-private.key", or "oauth-private.key". Additionally, it verifies that the response status is 200.

If the module finds a match, it will report the vulnerability as specified in the configuration.
