Automate Recon and scanning process with Vidoc. All security teams in one place

The "Sonarqube with public projects" module is designed to detect misconfigurations in Sonarqube instances that have public projects. Sonarqube is a popular open-source platform for continuous code quality inspection. This module focuses on identifying potential security vulnerabilities in the configuration of Sonarqube instances.
This module has a low severity level, indicating that the detected misconfigurations may not pose a significant risk but should still be addressed to ensure the security of the Sonarqube instance.

If misconfigurations are found in a Sonarqube instance with public projects, it could potentially expose sensitive information or allow unauthorized access to the projects. This could lead to the leakage of proprietary code, sensitive data, or even unauthorized modifications to the projects.
The "Sonarqube with public projects" module performs HTTP requests to the Sonarqube API to check for specific responses that indicate misconfigurations. One example of an HTTP request made by this module is:
GET /api/components/suggestions?recentlyBrowsed=
The module then applies matching conditions to the responses received from the API. In this case, it checks for a response status code of 200 and specific keywords in the response body, such as "results," "items," and "more." If all the matching conditions are met, the module reports a vulnerability.
By analyzing the responses and applying matching conditions, the module can identify potential misconfigurations in Sonarqube instances with public projects.
It's important to note that this module is just one test case within the Vidoc platform, which utilizes multiple modules to perform comprehensive scanning and detection of misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and software fingerprints.
For more information, you can refer to the Sonarqube API documentation.
The maximum number of requests made by this module is limited to 1.
