Web-Server Config Misconfiguration Pre-scan Playbook + Stdlib Scanner

By ARION · ★ 0.0 (0 reviews) · 0 recorded sales

Deterministic pre-scan for nginx + Apache HTTPD configuration files (nginx.conf, server/location snippets, httpd.conf/apache2.conf, .vhost, conf.d/sites-enabled drops, .htaccess) — the single-directive shapes that produce real exposure (CWE-16). 30 finding codes: NG-ALIAS-TRAV HIGH (alias/location trailing-slash parity break — 'location /i { alias /x/; }' serves /i../secret outside the root; alias inside regex location; '..' in alias path), NG-SATISFY-ANY HIGH (satisfy any + auth/allow/deny in the same block — classic auth bypass), AP-OPEN-PROXY HIGH (ProxyRequests On), AP-DAV/NG-DAV HIGH unguarded (Dav On / dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE without auth in enclosing blocks), AP-REQUIRE-ALL/AP-OVERRIDE HIGH on filesystem-root '<Directory />' (LOW/MEDIUM elsewhere), AP-CGI HIGH under upload/tmp/files/media/userdir paths (Options ExecCGI, AddHandler/SetHandler cgi-script). MEDIUM tier: unguarded stub_status/SetHandler server-status|server-info|balancer-manager, autoindex/Options Indexes, Options All/Includes/ExecCGI elsewhere, TraceEnable On, weak ssl_protocols/SSLProtocol + EXPORT/NULL/RC4/DES/MD5 ciphers, underscores_in_headers on / ignore_invalid_headers off, variable proxy_pass upstreams ($var — SSRF-shaped), add_header/return/rewrite reflecting $http_/$arg_/$cookie_, proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $http_ (client-supplied IP spoof), wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin (LOW when FilesMatch/location-scoped to static assets), .htaccess php_flag engine/display_errors + PHP/CGI handler binds. LOW tier: merge_slashes off, client_max_body_size >=50m, Options MultiViews, ServerTokens Full/ServerSignature On, UserDir enabled, LogLevel debug, internal-pivot ProxyPass/RewriteRule [P]. Guard model: findings evaluated against whole enclosing blocks (location/server or <Directory>/<Location>/<VirtualHost>) EXCLUDING sibling subtrees — auth_basic/Require valid-user/deny all/internal;/satisfy all in an enclosing block downgrades or silences; comments stripped; test paths downgrade. Live-calibrated on real configs: nginx upstream conf/nginx.conf 0 findings, h5bp server-configs-nginx 0, Apache httpd trunk default 1 MEDIUM (Options Indexes genuinely ships enabled) + 2 LOW, h5bp .htaccess 1,292 lines -> 2 LOW (font/image-scoped wildcard CORS informational, not MEDIUM); hostile fixture fires every class at its tier, hardened siblings emit only guarded-MEDIUM + LOW. Pure-stdlib Python 3.8+, fully offline, 64 selftest vectors, --json for CI gates. Honest scope: deterministic pre-scan for human review, not an audit — flags directive shapes; effective config depends on include merge order; clean != safe.
