Impact

The detection of the VMware NSX login panel does not directly indicate any specific impact. However, it can be used as a starting point for further analysis to identify potential security risks or vulnerabilities associated with the login panel configuration.

How does the module work?

The "VMware NSX Login Panel - Detect" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/login.jsp" path of the target system. It then applies matching conditions to determine if the login panel is present and functioning correctly.

The matching conditions used in this module are:

- Body Matcher: The module checks if the response body contains the HTML title tag "<title>VMware Appliance Management</title>". This indicates the presence of the VMware Appliance Management login panel. - Status Matcher: The module verifies that the HTTP response status is 200, indicating a successful request.

If both matching conditions are met, the module reports the detection of the VMware NSX login panel.
