By detecting these issues, system administrators can take appropriate actions to secure the login panel and prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.

How the module works?

The "XNAT Login Panel - Detect" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/app/template/Login.vm" path of the target system. It then applies a series of matching conditions to determine if the XNAT login panel is present and properly configured.

The matching conditions used by this module are as follows:

- Title: The module checks if the HTML response contains the "<title>XNAT</title>" tag, indicating the presence of the XNAT login panel. - Content-Type: It verifies if the response header includes the "text/html" value, ensuring that the response is in HTML format. - Status Code: The module confirms that the HTTP response status code is 200, indicating a successful request.

If all the matching conditions are met, the module reports a successful detection of the XNAT login panel. Otherwise, it indicates a potential misconfiguration or absence of the login panel.
