AWS S3 keys Leak
WordPress configuration file (wp-config.php) leaked, exposing AWS S3 keys and sensitive database credentials.
Security Misconfiguration (SM)
How this template works
APIs Selection
The template uses API selection filters to specify the response code range (between 200 and 299) and to extract the URL from the response using the "urlVar" variable.
Execute request
The template executes a single request by modifying the URL with the paths specified in the "urlPaths" word list. This allows the template to check for the presence of specific files, such as "wp-config.php-backup" and "%c0", in the URL.
Validation
The template validates the response payload by checking if it contains specific keywords, such as "access-key-id", "secret-access-key", "DB_NAME", and "DB_PASSWORD". If any of these keywords are found in the response, it indicates a potential leak of AWS S3 keys and sensitive database credentials.
