Impact

The detection of the Watchguard login panel does not directly indicate any specific impact. However, it can help security professionals identify potential security risks or misconfigurations that may exist in the login panel. By detecting the presence of the login panel, further analysis and investigation can be conducted to ensure its proper configuration and security.

How does the module work?

The "Watchguard Login Panel - Detect" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/sslvpn_logon.shtml" path of the target system. It then applies two matching conditions to determine if the Watchguard login panel is present:

- The module checks if the response contains the words "<title>User Authentication" and "WatchGuard Technologies". This indicates that the response page is the Watchguard login panel. - The module also checks if the HTTP response status is 200, indicating a successful request. This ensures that the target system is accessible and responsive.

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