Web Application Vulnerabilities

Evidence

URL Evidence

URL	Evidence
https://www.absa.africa/	Response headers include the HTTP Content-Security-Policy security header with the following security issues:default-src: data: URI in default-src allows the execution of unsafe scripts. script-src: 'unsafe-eval' allows the execution of code injected into DOM APIs such as eval(). default-src: default-src should not allow '*' as source. This may enable execution of malicious JavaScript. script-src: ''unsafe-inline'' allows the execution of unsafe in-page scripts and event handlers. base-uri: Missing base-uri allows the injection of base tags. They can be used to set the base URL for all relative (script) URLs to an attacker controlled domain. We recommend setting it to 'none' or 'self'. object-src: We recommend restricting object-src to 'none'.

Vulnerability description

We noticed that the Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header configured for the web application includes unsafe directives. The CSP header activates a protection mechanism implemented in web browsers which prevents exploitation of Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities (XSS) by restricting the sources from which content can be loaded or executed.

Risk description

For example, if the unsafe-inline directive is present in the CSP header, the execution of inline scripts and event handlers is allowed. This can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the vulnerable application.

Recommendation

Remove the unsafe values from the directives, adopt nonces or hashes for safer inclusion of inline scripts if they are needed, and explicitly define the sources from which scripts, styles, images or other resources can be loaded.

Vulnerability description

We noticed that server software and technology details are exposed, potentially aiding attackers in tailoring specific exploits against identified systems and versions.

Risk description

The risk is that an attacker could use this information to mount specific attacks against the identified software type and version.

Recommendation

We recommend you to eliminate the information which permits the identification of software platform, technology, server and operating system: HTTP server headers, HTML meta information, etc.

Evidence

URL
Missing: https://www.absa.africa/.well-known/security.txt

Vulnerability description

We have noticed that the server is missing the security.txt file, which is considered a good practice for web security. It provides a standardized way for security researchers and the public to report security vulnerabilities or concerns by outlining the preferred method of contact and reporting procedures.

Risk description

There is no particular risk in not having a security.txt file for your server. However, this file is important because it offers a designated channel for reporting vulnerabilities and security issues.

Recommendation

We recommend you to implement the security.txt file according to the standard, in order to allow researchers or users report any security issues they find, improving the defensive mechanisms of your server.

URL	Method	Parameters	Evidence
https://www.absa.africa/wp-json/wp/v2/pages	GET	Headers: User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36	Possible API endpoint found at `/wp-json/wp/v2/pages`

Vulnerability description

We found API endpoints while crawling the given web application.

Risk description

These endpoints may represent an attack surface for malicious actors interested in API-specific vulnerabilities.

Recommendation

Use the API Scanner to perform a more thorough vulnerability check for these endpoints, if an API specification is present.

www.absa.africa	CNAME	Canonical name	ftechmcrprd-prd-530931681.af-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com

Risk description

An initial step for an attacker aiming to learn about an organization involves conducting searches on its domain names to uncover DNS records associated with the organization. This strategy aims to amass comprehensive insights into the target domain, enabling the attacker to outline the organization's external digital landscape. This gathered intelligence may subsequently serve as a foundation for launching attacks, including those based on social engineering techniques. DNS records pointing to services or servers that are no longer in use can provide an attacker with an easy entry point into the network.

Recommendation

We recommend reviewing all DNS records associated with the domain and identifying and removing unused or obsolete records.
