Impact

If the "Umbraco Install Exposure" module detects a misconfiguration, it could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to the Umbraco installation page. This can lead to potential data breaches, unauthorized modifications, or even complete compromise of the Umbraco CMS.

How does the module work?

The "Umbraco Install Exposure" module works by sending a GET request to the "/install" path of the target website. It then applies several matching conditions to determine if the Umbraco installation page is exposed and vulnerable to potential attacks.

Matching conditions:

- The response body must contain the words "Install Umbraco" and "umbracoInstallPageBody". - The response header must include the word "text/html". - The HTTP status code must be 200 (OK).

If all of these conditions are met, the module will report a vulnerability, indicating that the Umbraco installation page is exposed and potentially at risk.

Example HTTP request:

GET /install

Note: The above example is a simplified representation of the HTTP request sent by the module.
