Synopsis

ELMAH Information Disclosure

Description

ELMAH (Error Logging Modules and Handlers) is an application error logging facility. This application is not properly configured and leads to information disclosure via elmah.axd or errorlog.axd. This allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to view web requests made to the server, including sensitive information like Session ID values, full path or request variables.

Solution

Set <elmah><security allowRemoteAccess='0' /></elmah> in web.config to disable remote access.
