Impact

This module aims to identify the disclosure of the AdminPassword and Password within the Ventrilo application. If these credentials are exposed, unauthorized individuals may gain access to the Ventrilo server, potentially compromising the security and privacy of the communication.

How does the module work?

The "Ventrilo Configuration File" module operates by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/ventrilo_srv.ini" path of the target server. It then applies a series of matching conditions to determine if the server configuration file contains specific keywords and meets certain criteria.

An example of a matching condition is the detection of the keywords "[Server]", "Name", and "Phonetic" within the server configuration file. Additionally, the module verifies that the response header indicates a content type of "text/plain" and that the HTTP status code is 200 (OK).

If all the matching conditions are met, the module reports a vulnerability, indicating that the Ventrilo server configuration file exposes sensitive information.
