Directory Listing (Nginx)
Summary#
Invicti identified a Directory Listing (Nginx).
The web server responded with a list of files located in the target directory.
Impact#
An attacker can see the files located in the directory and could potentially access files which disclose sensitive information.
Actions To Take#
- Change your
nginx.conf
file. A secure configuration for the requested directory should be similar to the following:location /{YOUR DIRECTORY} { autoindex off; }
- Configure the web server to disallow directory listing requests.
- Ensure that the latest security patches have been applied to the web server and the current stable version of the software is in use.
