Acrolinx Dashboard is a software tool utilized by enterprises and organizations to ensure consistent language usage and writing standards across all content. It is often used by content managers, editors, and teams responsible for creating and maintaining high-quality written content. The software provides analytics and insights into content performance, helping organizations optimize their messaging strategies. Acrolinx Dashboard is typically incorporated into workflows to enhance content clarity, tone, and style to align with corporate guidelines. It is widely adopted in industries such as marketing, technical writing, and corporate communications to maintain uniformity in language and style.
The Acrolinx Dashboard detection scanner identifies the presence of an accessible Acrolinx Analytics dashboard. Panel Detection focuses on discovering instances where dashboards are exposed to unauthorized access, which could lead to information leakage. The scanner specifically targets the detection of publicly available dashboards that could potentially be exploited by unauthorized users. It is important to detect and secure these dashboards to prevent sensitive information from being compromised. This vulnerability can pose a significant security risk if the dashboard is not properly protected.
The vulnerability is associated with dashboards being accessible without proper authentication controls. This includes seeking specific HTML elements and HTTP status codes that confirm the availability of a dashboard. The scanner checks for conditions such as specific title words appearing in the HTML body and a status code of 200, which indicate the presence of the Acrolinx Dashboard. This method allows for quick identification of potentially accessible dashboards that require securing.
If left unaddressed, the exposure of the Acrolinx Dashboard could lead to unauthorized access to analytics data and potentially sensitive information. Malicious actors could exploit the detected panel to glean insights into an organization's operations, potentially leading to strategic disadvantages or data breaches. Unauthorized access might also enable attempts to manipulate or corrupt data, leading to loss of data integrity and trust. It is critical to ensure that all endpoints are secured to prevent these negative outcomes.
