Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

.firebaserc

Firebase CLI project-alias configuration file

What an attacker could do

Discloses Firebase project IDs and deployment aliases, letting an attacker identify the exact backend project and probe its APIs and storage buckets.

How to defend it

Keep deployment config out of public hosting where possible, and rely on robust Firebase security rules and App Check rather than project-ID obscurity for protection.
