Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a comprehensive content management solution used by enterprises worldwide to build websites, mobile apps, and forms. It is widely deployed by marketing teams, content authors, and developers to streamline content creation and delivery processes. AEM is part of the Adobe Marketing Cloud and helps organizations manage their content assets efficiently. Its robust features support collaboration and the creation of personalized experiences. By centralizing content management, AEM facilitates consistency, compliance, and improved digital experiences across various channels. Organizations favor AEM for its scalability and extensive integration capabilities with other Adobe products.
This scanner is designed to detect the presence of AEM login panels, which might indicate unauthorized access points if improperly configured. Detecting a login panel can reveal potential entry points for attackers aiming to exploit access vulnerabilities. The scanner identifies login panels by searching for specific indicators, such as page titles and related metadata. Login panel detection helps administrators verify the security of their AEM configurations and take corrective measures if necessary. The detection process involves querying specific URLs and examining the responses for known markers. Having a fortified login panel is crucial for maintaining AEM's security integrity.
During the scanning process, the vulnerable endpoint `/libs/granite/core/content/login.html` is targeted as it commonly hosts the AEM login functionality. The system checks for the specific page title `<title>AEM Sign In</title>` along with a successful HTTP status of 200 to confirm the presence of the login panel. This endpoint and its attributes are pivotal in identifying exposed login pages. Technical details like HTTP status codes and specific page contents are leveraged to ensure accurate detection of AEM's login interface. Effective panel detection relies on precise URL matching and response analysis for proper identification. Technological markers and response codes are crucial for identifying login panels accurately.
When the vulnerability is exploited, unauthorized users could gain access to the AEM's backend. This might lead to data breaches, unauthorized content manipulation, and potential system-wide compromise. Such access allows attackers to modify website content, inject malicious scripts, or harvest sensitive information. If the login panel is identified and not properly secured, intruders might exploit it for phishing campaigns to deceive legitimate users. Misconfigured panels pose risks of further exposure due to possible enumeration of sensitive information credentials. Securing the login panels minimizes risks of unauthorized access that could impact organizational integrity.
