Vulnerability Details
Hi there, While you are primarily interested in the network/browser issues, I would like to report a web bug I discovered and thought the best place to do that would be here. # Vulnerability Type: Full Path Disclosure [CWE-209] Affected endpoint: https://explorer.ooni.torproject.org Example: https://explorer.ooni.torproject.org//x # Details Vulnerability details as follows. ## Impact This security vulnerability could potentially allow a malicious hacker to map an attack against internal systems. For example, if this were to be chained with another vulnerability such as path traversal; it may lead to compromise of internal systems. ## Mitigation Typically these sort of errors occur from incorrect data types, in this case it seems like it is just a simple 404 page which is however leaking too much information to the user. A best practice method is to log these type of errors to a local text file, while showing the user a friendly 404 message. This is often achieved by disabling error reporting on the application side.
