I recently was at a client doing an audit on the SharePoint environment, and the question of how to do continual scanning on the site for possible system/ web service / and list WebForm exposure. Mimicking and automating this behavior is no big deal, since you are essentially just dispatching requests to various static URLs. The SPList object SPFormCollections can be exposed through the SPList.Forms property, and via web services rather than using the Forms web service you are sorta relegated learning on the SPList content type methods to get access to all customized forms. The SPWeb related ones are better to keep in a mutable file that can be managed.

So da da da! Here is a simple SharePoint security scanner. The composition of the application is actually pretty straightforward; it’s only about three forms. To abstract SharePoint explicit reference requirements the OM and web service assemblies are dynamically loaded at runtime so that SharePoint references are only required when doing OM connection types. Web service ones it shouldn’t really matter.

There are about three steps to get it going:

Start the application:

Click Open Connection:

And choose the connection type, and credential specifications:

When done hit connect, and you will return to the main form. Fill in whether you want to iterate SPList objects:

You can manage the web related urls, since the SPFormCollections are automated, through the Manage Web Inclusion List:

Scan the site, then you can view the results:

So it’s not very fancy, but gets the job done. Have hacky SharePoint fun!
