Information Disclosure


Overview

Information Disclosure may result when internal information is disclosed to the user-agent (browser). These paths can be used in other attacks.

Discovery Methodology

Attempt to discover if it is possible to cause errors by injecting all input parameters with characters that are reserved in various contexts. Search web page sources (view source) for internal information disclosure. Search for custom administrative pages and administrative consoles such as phpMyAdmin installations.

Exploitation

Search pages with and without injection. Use the grep feature of Burp-Suite to seach for inappropriate information. Search for known common administrative consoles such as phpMyAdmin installations, Drupal and Wordpress consoles.
