Impact

The impact of the detected misconfigurations can vary depending on the specific issues found. However, misconfigurations in the Slurm HPC Dashboard can potentially lead to security vulnerabilities, unauthorized access, or compromised functionality of the HPC cluster management system.

How does the module work?

The "Slurm HPC Dashboard - Detect" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target system and analyzing the responses based on predefined matching conditions. The module checks for two specific conditions:

- The presence of the Slurm HPC Dashboard title tag and content attribute in the HTML response. - A successful HTTP response with a status code of 200.

If both conditions are met, the module considers the Slurm HPC Dashboard to be detected and reports the finding.

Here is an example of an HTTP request used by the module:

GET /slurm/

The module expects to receive a response with a status code of 200 and the HTML content containing the title tag "Slurm HPC Dashboard" and the content attribute "Slurm HPC dashboard".

By analyzing the responses and matching conditions, the module can determine if the Slurm HPC Dashboard is present and potentially misconfigured.
