Dockerfile Hidden Disclosure

Dockerfile Hidden Disclosure

Attacker can get unauthorized access of hidden Dockerfile(s).

Security Misconfiguration (SM)

"Dockerfile Hidden Disclosure refers to the vulnerability where hidden Dockerfile(s), such as .dockerfile and .Dockerfile, are exposed due to misconfiguration. Unauthorized access to these files can reveal sensitive information about the application's image build process, including build instructions, environment variables, and exposed ports. Attackers can exploit this exposure to identify vulnerabilities, gain insights into the application's inner workings, or launch targeted attacks. Promptly addressing this vulnerability is essential to prevent unauthorized access, protect sensitive data, and maintain the security of the application."

How this template works

APIs Selection

The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API endpoints to test. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the "urlVar" from the response URL.

Execute request

The execute section defines the type of request to be made and the modifications to be applied to the URL. In this template, a single request is made, and the URL is modified using the "urlPaths" word list, which contains the extracted "urlVar" value.

Validation

The validation section specifies the conditions that the response should meet to be considered valid. It includes checking the response code to be equal to 200, validating the response payload using a regular expression pattern, and ensuring that the response headers do not contain the text "text/html".
