The Target: Peugeot, a France based automobile manufacturer.
The Take: Exposure of company sensitive data including: credentials to a MYSQL database, secure web tokens along with their passphrases and locations of keys, a link to the git repository for the website, and source code.
The Vector: Peugeot’s website based in Peru was hosting an unsecured environment file (.env), which contains credentials for other services used by the program, or website in this case, that the developers are working on. The logins stored here exposed credentials to a third-party software Peugeot used named Symphony, which could let attackers download session IDs and impersonate users.
This breach is a critical reminder to monitor, flag, and properly secure all publicly accessible files on a website, and to furthermore ensure these files are protected by passwords adhering to robust cybersecurity standards of complexity and length. This attack also shows how one exposure of a system can lead to a pivot into other systems. It’s essential to secure all public-facing websites.
