Security Misconfiguration (SM)

"CircleCI Config.yml Exposure refers to the vulnerability where the CircleCI config.yml file is exposed due to misconfiguration. Unauthorized access to this file can reveal critical information about the CI/CD pipeline, including version details and job specifications. Attackers can exploit this exposure to gain insights into the pipeline's structure and settings, potentially leading to unauthorized access, modifications, or disruptions to the build process. It is essential to address this vulnerability promptly to prevent unauthorized access and protect the integrity of the CI/CD pipeline."

How this template works

APIs Selection

The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API endpoint to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the URL as a variable called "urlVar".

Execute request

The execute section defines the type of request to be executed, which is a single request in this case. It also specifies the modifications to be made to the URL by appending "/.circleci/config.yml" and enabling follow redirects.

Validation

The validation section defines the criteria for validating the response received from the API endpoint. It checks that the response code is equal to 200 and that the response payload contains both the strings "version" and "jobs".
