Security Misconfiguration
mediumWhat is Misconfiguration?
Security misconfiguration covers a broad range of issues from default credentials and unnecessary features enabled, to overly permissive CORS policies and exposed debug endpoints.
How it works
Developers leave default settings, enable debug modes in production, expose admin panels without authentication, use overly permissive CORS headers, or leave directory listing enabled.
Impact
Unauthorised access, information disclosure, full system compromise through admin panels, and data theft through permissive CORS.
ShieldReport scans for exposed admin panels, debug endpoints, default credentials, directory listing, CORS misconfigurations, and unnecessary HTTP methods.
How to fix it
Remove default credentials. Disable debug mode and directory listing. Restrict CORS to specific origins. Remove unused features, frameworks, and endpoints. Automate configuration auditing.
