OpenText Content Server Panel Detection Scanner

OpenText Content Server is a comprehensive document management system widely used by enterprises for archiving, tracking, and automating business content. It is employed by organizations around the world to help manage information governance and reduce risks inherent to documents and communications. The software ensures all data remains accurate, accessible, and meets compliance regulations. Developed by OpenText, a leading provider of enterprise information management, the software supports complex information management needs across various sectors. Common users include legal professionals, government sectors, and global corporations who require centralized document management. The system integrates with various applications ensuring efficient document handling and processing.

This scanner identifies the presence of an OpenText Content Server login panel on targeted digital assets. The detection aids organizations in understanding if their servers with document management systems are reachable over the web, highlighting potential exposure risks. Detecting such panels can be critical in assessing security posture and access management of sensitive document storage locations. While the scanner does not exploit vulnerabilities, it assists in identifying systems that may need additional security measures. The detection focuses on identifying login panels using known OpenText Content Server indicators within HTTP responses. Checking for this detection is a straightforward process that involves querying specific patterns related to OpenText Content Server within asset responses.

Technically, the scanner seeks HTTP responses with specific characteristics to validate the presence of OpenText Content Server’s login interface. It checks for a successful HTTP 200 status code indicating webpage availability and scans for signature strings like "opentext content server" or "opentext content suite" in the response body. The correct identification of these traits confirms that the particular asset hosts an OpenText Content Server login panel, which administrators need to be aware of. Extractors within the scanner also attempt to obtain the version information from the page source for documentation and security review. Such details can be used to determine if the application version in use is outdated or potentially vulnerable.

The existence and observability of the OpenText Content Server login panel can be an indicator of a targeted system being inadequately secured against unauthorized access attempts. Malicious actors could exploit visible login panels to attempt unauthorized logins or discover version-specific vulnerabilities. Therefore, detecting these panels, although not harmful by itself, serves as an important step in recognizing potential attack vectors that malicious entities can exploit. It prompts further investigation and potential action to bolster the security of sensitive document management infrastructures. Organizations can then manage login configurations or implement restriction measures to ensure that these endpoints are not easily reachable or exploitable.
