Bug bounty programs have become an integral part of the cybersecurity landscape, allowing ethical hackers to uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen digital defenses. Today, I want to share an incredible experience where my AEM secrets template proved invaluable in securing significant bounties. By leveraging this template, I was able to expose critical information, leading to substantial rewards and furthering my bug bounty journey.
Unearthing Valuable Secrets:
The secrets that were uncovered during this remarkable journey included hashed passwords, internal email IDs, email inboxes, and other personally identifiable information (PII). The impact of such exposures cannot be overstated, as they can potentially lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and compromise of sensitive user information.
The AEM Secrets Template:
To assist fellow bug bounty hunters and security enthusiasts, I created an AEM secrets template that streamlined the identification of vulnerabilities within Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
Template Link: https://github.com/themoonbaba/private_templates/blob/main/aem-secrets.yaml
Using the Template:
Utilizing the AEM secrets template is a straightforward process.
1. Prepare a target list: Create a text file (e.g., targets.txt) containing a list of potential AEM targets that you wish to investigate.
2. Run nuclei: Execute the following command in your preferred terminal:
```
nuclei -l targets.txt -t ~/private-templates/possible-AEM-secrets.yaml
```
1. Don’t stop at UUID exposure: While the identification of UUIDs is an important initial step, it does not necessarily indicate a vulnerability in itself. Try to search to include hashed passwords, passwords, database names, database passwords, and other sensitive information manually can lead to more substantial findings.
2. Success is not guaranteed: It’s crucial to remember that every target is unique, and the success of the template depends on the specific circumstances.
3. Exercise discretion: If the targeted endpoint does not disclose any sensitive information, it is advisable to move on to other potential targets.
