Uservoice Takeover Detection

What is the "Uservoice Takeover Detection?"

The "Uservoice Takeover Detection" module is designed to detect potential takeover vulnerabilities in UserVoice subdomains. UserVoice is a software platform that allows businesses to collect and manage customer feedback and support tickets. This module focuses on identifying misconfigurations or vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access or control over a UserVoice subdomain.

This module has a severity level of high, indicating that the identified vulnerabilities can have a significant impact on the security and functionality of the affected UserVoice subdomain.

Impact

If a takeover vulnerability is successfully exploited, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to the UserVoice subdomain. This could potentially allow them to manipulate customer feedback, access sensitive information, or disrupt the support ticket system. The impact of a successful takeover can vary depending on the specific actions an attacker takes, but it can have serious consequences for the affected organization and its customers.

How the module works?

The "Uservoice Takeover Detection" module works by analyzing the response received from the targeted UserVoice subdomain. It uses a set of matching conditions to identify specific indicators that suggest a potential takeover vulnerability.

One of the matching conditions used by this module is a DSL (Domain Specific Language) rule that checks if the host is not an IP address. This helps filter out false positives and focus on subdomains hosted on UserVoice.

Another matching condition involves searching for a specific phrase in the response, namely "This UserVoice subdomain is currently available!". If this phrase is found, it indicates that the subdomain may be vulnerable to takeover.

By combining these matching conditions, the module can accurately detect potential takeover vulnerabilities in UserVoice subdomains.
