Detection of Nginx default page enabled misconfiguration, potentially exposing sensitive server information.
Security Misconfiguration (SM)
How this template works
APIs Selection
The template uses API selection filters to specify the criteria for selecting APIs to test. In this case, it filters APIs based on the response code, ensuring that it is between 200 and 299. It also extracts the URL from the response and assigns it to the variable "urlVar".
Execute request
The template uses the "execute" section to define the type of request to be executed. In this case, it is a single request. The request is modified using the "modify_url" action, which uses the value of the "urlVar" variable to modify the URL of the request.
Validation
The template uses the "validate" section to define the validation criteria for the response. In this case, it checks if the response payload contains the string "Welcome to nginx!". If the response payload contains this string, the validation is considered successful.
