Impact

The detection of the Tableau Python Server panel does not directly imply any impact. However, it can indicate the presence of a specific software component that may have security implications depending on its configuration and usage.

How does the module work?

The "Tableau Python Server Panel - Detect" module works by sending HTTP requests and applying matching conditions to identify the presence of the Tableau Python Server panel.

One of the matching conditions used by this module is to search for the presence of the HTML title tag "<title>Tableau Python Server</title>" within the response body. This indicates that the Tableau Python Server panel is present.

Additionally, the module checks if the HTTP response status is 200, indicating a successful request.

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

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: Vidoc-Scanner

The module applies an "AND" condition to both matching rules, meaning that both conditions must be met for a positive match.

It is important to note that this module is designed to detect the presence of the Tableau Python Server panel and does not perform any further analysis or exploitation.
