wufoo takeover detection

What is the "wufoo takeover detection?" module?

The "wufoo takeover detection" module is designed to detect potential takeover vulnerabilities in the Wufoo software. It is a test case that can be used in the Vidoc platform for scanning purposes. The severity of this module is classified as high, indicating that it can potentially expose critical security risks. The original author of this module is pdteam.

Impact

If a takeover vulnerability is detected in the Wufoo software, it could allow unauthorized individuals to gain control over the application or its data. This can lead to various security breaches, data leaks, or unauthorized access to sensitive information.

How does the module work?

The "wufoo takeover detection" module works by utilizing HTTP request templates and matching conditions to identify potential takeover vulnerabilities. It performs specific checks against the targeted software to determine if any misconfigurations or vulnerabilities exist.

One example of an HTTP request used by this module could be:

GET /api/v1/profile HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

The module then applies matching conditions to the response received from the targeted software. In this case, it checks for specific phrases such as "Profile not found" or "Hmmm....something is not right." If any of these conditions are met, the module will flag the presence of a potential takeover vulnerability.

It's important to note that the module does not directly modify or exploit the targeted software. Instead, it focuses on identifying potential security risks that could be exploited by malicious actors.
