Spring Boot Configuration Properties Actuator Exposed

Spring Boot Configuration Properties Actuator Exposed

Spring Boot Configuration Properties Actuator Exposed Misconfiguration.

Security Misconfiguration (SM)

The Spring Boot Configuration Properties Actuator Exposed misconfiguration occurs when the Actuator endpoint, which provides detailed configuration properties of the application, is accessible to unauthorized users. This misconfiguration can lead to potential security risks as sensitive configuration information, including properties related to security, database, and third-party services, can be exposed. It falls under the Security Misconfiguration category with a low severity level. Proper access control and secure configuration of the Actuator endpoints are essential to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive configuration details.

How this template works

APIs Selection

The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API to be tested. In this case, the filters include checking the response code to be greater than or equal to 200 and less than 300, and extracting the URL from the response to be used in the subsequent request.

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 request to be made, which includes modifying the URL by appending "/actuator/configprops" to the extracted URL from the previous step.

Validation

The validation section defines the criteria for validating the response of the executed request. It checks that the response code is equal to 200 and that the response payload contains specific strings, such as "org.springframework.boot.actuate", "beans", and "contexts". If these criteria are met, the validation is considered successful.
