SUSE Manager is an open-source infrastructure manager designed for Linux systems used by organizations to manage systems and ensure compliance with policies. Typically employed by IT departments and system administrators, its primary function is to manage software updates, provisioning, and system configurations. By providing centralized control over Linux systems, it helps in enhancing security and compliance. The software is especially beneficial for large enterprises with a multitude of systems to manage. Additionally, SUSE Manager assists in systems auditing and therefore maintains system integrity. Overall, it reduces administrative overhead by automating routine tasks.
Detection of the SUSE Manager panel helps users identify systems running this software by checking the response for typical signatures in the login page. The vulnerability detection focuses on identifying the presence of a SUSE Manager login panel in digital assets. This detection is critical for security management as it could help in auditing visible assets. Login panels, typically exposed to the internet, can serve as potential entry points for unauthorized access if left unsecured. Knowing the presence of such assets can aid in mitigating any potential security risks. The scanner does not exploit vulnerabilities but rather informs users about potential exposure.
The technical details of this detection involve sending an HTTP GET request to the target URL and checking the response for specific strings that indicate a SUSE Manager login page. The template looks for certain HTML
tags that are unique to SUSE Manager, Multi-Linux Manager, or Uyuni sign-in pages. Additionally, it checks the HTTP response status for a 200 OK code to ensure that the page is accessible. This pattern of detection relies on the known UI signatures of SUSE Manager panels.</p>
<p>If exploited by malicious actors, exposed login panels can lead to unauthorized access into a system's management interface. Without proper access controls, such exploitation can lead to data breaches, system misconfigurations, and the introduction of malicious software. Malicious exploitation could further lead to the leakage of sensitive data and unauthorized modification of system settings. Furthermore, an exposed login panel increases the risk of brute force or credential stuffing attacks, which could compromise system integrity. Proactive detection helps organizations secure their IT environment against such potential security threats.</p></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div></div><div class="MuiTabPanel-root

To prevent this, organizations should have custom error pages set up that do not disclose sensitive information and instead provide helpful but non-specific messages.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-526: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in an Environment Variable\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn some cases, sensitive information such as passwords or API keys might be stored in environment variables. This poses a risk as these variables can be easily accessed by anyone with access to the system. It is important to ensure that all sensitive information is encrypted before being stored in environment variables.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-315: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in a Cookie\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, sensitive information stored in cookies can also be accessed by unauthorized parties. This vulnerability is often exploited in cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. To prevent this, organizations should ensure that sensitive data stored in cookies is encrypted and not easily accessible.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most common vulnerabilities is exposing sensitive information to unauthorized actors. This can happen through misconfigured servers, insecure APIs, or unprotected databases. To prevent this, organizations should regularly conduct security audits and ensure that sensitive information is properly encrypted and protected at all times.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-15: External Control of System or Configuration Setting \u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother vulnerability that can lead to security misconfiguration is having external entities control the system or configuration settings. This can happen through weak authentication methods or unsecured network connections. To prevent this, organizations should implement strong authentication measures and regularly review their network security.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-209: Information Exposure Through an Error Message \u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eError messages can also be a source of vulnerability as they can reveal sensitive information to attackers. To prevent this, organizations should ensure that error messages only provide necessary and non-sensitive information to users. They should also conduct regular testing and review of their systems to identify any potential vulnerabilities.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-112: Missing XML Validation\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis means that the XML input is not properly validated, which can lead to security risks such as XML injection attacks. It is important to ensure proper validation of XML data to prevent these vulnerabilities and protect the integrity and security of the system.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-392: Missing Report of Error Condition\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen errors occur, it is important for organizations to have a system in place that reports these errors. Without proper reporting, vulnerabilities can go unnoticed and unaddressed, leaving the system open to potential attacks. By regularly reviewing error logs and addressing any reported errors, organizations can mitigate this vulnerability.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-353: Missing Support for Integrity Check\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntegrity checks are important in ensuring that data has not been tampered with or altered. Without this support, organizations may be vulnerable to attacks such as data manipulation and unauthorized access. By implementing integrity checks and regularly monitoring them, organizations can detect any potential vulnerabilities and take necessary actions to secure their systems.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-549: Missing Password Field Masking\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen users enter their passwords, it is important to have the field masked or hidden to prevent others from seeing their sensitive information. This is particularly important in shared environments where multiple people may have access to the same screen. By implementing password masking in their systems, organizations can protect user privacy and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritical functions, such as administrative privileges or high-level system access, should always require authentication to prevent unauthorized access. Without this measure in place, organizations are at risk of malicious actors gaining access to sensitive data or systems. By implementing strong authentication protocols, organizations can significantly reduce the likelihood of a security breach.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCWE-862: Missing Authorization\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthorization is essential for controlling access to confidential information and ensuring that users have only the necessary level of access. Without proper authorization measures in place, organizations are vulnerable to unauthorized data breaches or system compromises. By implementing robust authorization protocols based on user roles and permissions, organizations can greatly enhance their cyber security posture.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Top 16 Security Misconfiguration Scanning Tools\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Top 16 security misconfiguration
