Adobe Experience Manager Forms Panel Detection Scanner

Adobe Experience Manager Forms is a comprehensive solution used for creating, managing, and securely exchanging critical customer-facing documents across an organization. It is commonly employed by enterprises and governmental agencies to automate processes involving forms and documents. The platform is designed to enhance digital workflow by integrating forms and communication management into websites and mobile applications. Its seamless integration capabilities allow businesses to reduce paperwork, enhance accuracy, and quicken the processing of information. The software supports a wide variety of data types and formats, appealing to sectors needing robust document management solutions. AEM Forms provides tools for creating responsive forms that enhance user engagement and facilitate data collection.

This scanner detects the presence of Adobe Experience Manager Forms panels on web servers. Panel Detection is used to identify publicly accessible login or configuration panels that could be targeted for unauthorized access. Identifying these panels is crucial for administrators to secure them against potential misuse. The detection of these panels helps in assessing the security posture of a web application and preventing exposure of sensitive interfaces. It alerts administrators to take corrective actions to mitigate associated risks. Detecting these panels is a preliminary step in safeguarding digital assets against security vulnerabilities.

The scanner identifies the URL endpoint where Adobe Experience Manager Forms panels are accessible, particularly focusing on `/lc/libs/livecycle/core/content/login.html`. It analyzes the response from the server to check for specific keywords, like `

`, indicating the presence of AEM Forms. The HTTP status code is checked to be 200, confirming the active status of the panel. The process involves sending a GET request to the suspected path and confirming the presence of the panel through matcher conditions. This validation technique efficiently flags instances where AEM Forms panels might be exposed and need securing.

If this detection indicates an exposed panel, it could lead to unauthorized access, data exposure, or further security breaches if left unmitigated. Malicious actors could exploit detected panels to launch other attacks or gain administrative access. Such exposure threatens the confidentiality and integrity of data managed through Adobe Experience Manager Forms. It could also lead to unauthorized manipulation of digital forms and workflow processes. In worst-case scenarios, it might provide a pathway for attackers to intrude into other parts of the organizational network.
