Git Credentials Disclosure

Git Credentials Disclosure

Searches for the pattern and log file on passed URLs.

Security Misconfiguration (SM)

"Git Credentials Disclosure refers to the vulnerability where the presence of Git credentials and log files is checked on provided URLs. The .git-credentials file contains sensitive information, including HTTPS URLs and authentication credentials. Promptly addressing this vulnerability is crucial to prevent unauthorized access, protect the integrity of source code, and safeguard sensitive information from being exposed."

How this template works

APIs Selection

The template uses API selection filters to specify the criteria for selecting the API requests to be executed. In this case, it filters the requests based on the response code, ensuring that it is between 200 and 299, and extracts the URL from the response using the "urlVar" variable.

Execute request

The template specifies a single request to be executed. It modifies the URL by appending "/.git-credentials" to the extracted URL. This request is sent to the modified URL to check for the presence of the .git-credentials file.

Validation

The template defines validation criteria to verify the response of the executed request. It checks that the response code is equal to 200, the response payload contains both "https://" and "@github.com", and the response headers do not contain the value "text/html". These validations ensure that the .git-credentials file is present and contains the expected sensitive information.
