Synopsis

Lighttpd Status Module Information Disclosure

Description

The instance of lighttpd running on the remote host allows unauthenticated access to URLs associated with the Status module (mod_status), at least from the WAS server. Mod_status reports information about how the web server is configured and its usage, and it may prove useful to an attacker seeking to attack the server or host.

Solution

Reconfigure lighttpd to require authentication for the affected URL(s), restrict access to it by IP address, or disable the Status module itself.
