Sonarqube with public projects

Detects publicly accessible SonarQube projects.

Security Misconfiguration (SM)

Impact of the vulnerability

Publicly accessible SonarQube projects expose sensitive code quality and security information, increasing the risk of unauthorized access and targeted attacks.

How this template works

APIs Selection

The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API endpoints to be tested. In this case, the filters include checking the response code to be greater than or equal to 200 and less than 300, and extracting the URL as a variable.

Execute request

The execute section of the template defines the type of request to be executed, which is a single request in this case. It also specifies the request to be made by modifying the URL with the extracted variable from the API selection filters.

Validation

The validation section defines the criteria for validating the response of the executed request. In this template, it checks that the response code is equal to 200 and that the response payload contains specific elements such as 'results', 'items', and 'more'.
