Impact

If the Syncthing dashboard is exposed or misconfigured, it could potentially allow unauthorized access to sensitive information or provide an entry point for attackers to exploit the system. This can lead to data breaches, unauthorized modifications, or other security incidents.

How does the module work?

The "Syncthing Dashboard Exposure" module works by performing HTTP requests and applying specific matching conditions to identify potential vulnerabilities or misconfigurations. It checks for the presence of specific content in the HTTP response body and verifies that the response status is 200 (OK).

For example, one of the matching conditions may involve searching for the presence of the text "The Syncthing Authors" and "Actions" in the response body. Additionally, the module checks if the response status is 200, indicating a successful request.

By analyzing the HTTP responses and matching conditions, the module can determine if the Syncthing dashboard is exposed or misconfigured, allowing users to take appropriate actions to address any identified issues.
