VMware vCloud Director Panel - Detect

What is the "VMware vCloud Director Panel - Detect?"

The "VMware vCloud Director Panel - Detect" module is designed to detect the presence of the VMware vCloud Director panel. VMware vCloud Director is a cloud computing management platform that enables organizations to build and manage cloud infrastructure.

This module focuses on detecting the VMware vCloud Director panel specifically. It is used to identify instances where the panel is accessible, which can help in assessing the security posture of the cloud infrastructure.

The severity of this module is classified as informative, meaning it provides valuable information but does not indicate a vulnerability or misconfiguration.

Impact

This module does not have a direct impact on the target system. It is purely designed to detect the presence of the VMware vCloud Director panel and provide information about its accessibility.

How the module works?

The "VMware vCloud Director Panel - Detect" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the target system's "/cloud/" path. It then applies two matching conditions to determine if the VMware vCloud Director panel is present:

- The module checks if the response body contains the HTML title tag "<title>VMware vCloud Director</title>". This indicates that the panel is present. - The module also verifies that the HTTP response status is 200, indicating a successful request.

If both conditions are met, the module reports a positive detection of the VMware vCloud Director panel.
