Exposed Admin Panels

An exposed admin panel refers to the web-based interface or portal that publicly provides access to an application's administrative functions on the internet without requiring any authentication or credentials. An exposed admin panel can occur due to misconfiguration or human error, where an administrator unintentionally makes the panel accessible to the public. An exposed admin panel can pose a significant security risk to an organization as it can provide unauthorized access to sensitive information or allow attackers to modify an application's settings or configuration. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to steal data, plant malware, or launch a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and secure all admin panels to prevent unauthorized access and protect an organization's sensitive data.

ThreatNG's comprehensive suite of External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings Investigation modules offers a robust solution for organizations with exposed admin panels. Leveraging advanced Domain Intelligence features such as DNS Intelligence, Subdomain Intelligence, and Certificate Intelligence, ThreatNG enables proactive identification and monitoring of potential vulnerabilities within an organization's online infrastructure. The Exposed API Discovery, Exposed Development Environment Discovery, VPN Discovery, and Application Discovery modules further enhance the organization's resilience by pinpointing potential weak points and areas of concern in the technology stack. This integrated approach allows organizations to identify and assess the risks associated with their exposed admin panels. It provides actionable insights for remediation and ongoing security posture improvement, ultimately strengthening the organization's cybersecurity.
