Impact

If the Webasyst Installer is exposed, it can pose a significant security risk. Unauthorized users may gain access to sensitive information or exploit vulnerabilities in the software, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data breaches, or other malicious activities.

How does the module work?

The "Webasyst Installer Exposure" module works by sending HTTP requests and evaluating the responses against specific matching conditions. It checks if the response body contains the phrase "Webasyst Installer" and if the HTTP status code is 200 (OK). If both conditions are met, the module considers the Webasyst Installer to be exposed.

Here is an example of an HTTP request that the module might send:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

The module matches the response body against the phrase "Webasyst Installer" and checks if the HTTP status code is 200.
