This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.
Web Server Misconfiguration: Information Disclosure
Abstract
Failure to restrict access to files could lead to exposure of sensitive information or interfaces.
Explanation
Severe information disclosure vulnerabilities can occur when the following file categories are left unprotected on the server:
- Password files
- User data files
- Database files
- Application management files
- Installation and setup files
Example 1:Successful enumeration of any of these files indicates a severe information disclosure vulnerability
- Password files
- User data files
- Database files
- Application management files
- Installation and setup files
Example 1:Successful enumeration of any of these files indicates a severe information disclosure vulnerability
