Impact

If the SumoWebTools Installer Exposure module detects a misconfiguration, it means that the installation process of SumoWebTools is not properly secured. This can lead to various security risks, including:

- Exposure of sensitive information during the installation process - Potential unauthorized access to the installation process - Possible compromise of the entire SumoWebTools installation

It is crucial to address any detected misconfigurations to prevent these risks and ensure the security of the SumoWebTools installation.

How does the module work?

The SumoWebTools Installer Exposure module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/install" path of the target system. It then applies a set of matching conditions to determine if a misconfiguration is present.

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

GET /install

The module's matching conditions include:

- Checking if the response body contains the words "SumoWebTools Installer" and "configure" - Verifying that the response header includes the word "text/html" - Ensuring that the response status code is 200 (OK)

If all of these conditions are met, the module identifies a misconfiguration in the SumoWebTools installer and reports it as a vulnerability.
