This detection scanner operates by scanning the designated URL to identify if the Alfresco Content App panel is accessible. It inspects the webpage for specific indicators like the "Alfresco Content App" title within the HTML, signaling the presence of the login interface. The scanner corroborates this by checking the HTTP response status code, ensuring it aligns with expected accessible responses, such as a HTTP status code of 200. By identifying these elements, the scanner efficiently determines the presence of the panel across digital assets. The detection process is efficient, requiring minimal resources, allowing for quick scalability across larger infrastructures. Its detailed approach enables precise detection of the Alfresco Content App.
When the vulnerabilities associated with the presence of the Alfresco Content App panel are exploited, it may lead to unauthorized access and data breaches. Attackers could potentially leverage the panel to execute unauthorized commands or manipulate content, compromising data integrity. There is also a risk of information disclosure, where sensitive organizational data could be exposed, leading to financial and reputational damages. Successful exploitation can facilitate lateral movement within an organization's network, creating further security challenges. Additionally, the exploit could serve as an entry point for malware, increasing the risk of ransomware attacks. Proactively identifying and managing such exposure is crucial to maintaining security within an organization's systems.
