false positive on IBM Webshpere #429

Closed digininja closed 7 years ago

digininja commented 7 years ago

I just got this false positive when scanning a site:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
              Information
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Test ID:    007044
OSVDB ID:   0
Message:    /wps/portal/Home/Welcome/!ut/: IBM Websphere default portal found. May allow users to create accounts.
Reason:     Content Match
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
              Request
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GET /wps/portal/Home/Welcome/!ut/ HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.00 (Nikto/2.1.6) (Evasions:None) (Test:007044)
Host: abc.com

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
              Response
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Not sure what it is matching in the page as there isn't a flood of false positives like there can be when the 404 page does something special.

The check is doing a Sign\sUp so it seems that 404 is containing this response

It does contain that string, looks like you've found it.

If you have such custom build 404s on pages (which is probably also the case in #430) then have a look at the -404string command line options of nikto to mark these 404 pages as a 404.

I poked at a bunch of these via inurl, and don't see anything better or more unique to match on, really.
