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?
.git/index
Git staging-area index file, part of an exposed .git directory that can reconstruct source
What an attacker could do
A readable .git/index lets an attacker enumerate every tracked file and, combined with downloadable object/pack files, reconstruct the full application source code, exposing secrets, logic flaws, and hardcoded credentials.
How to defend it
Never deploy the .git directory to a webroot; block all access to .git via server config (deny location ~ /\.git), use export-ignore or a clean build artifact, and remove any committed secrets and rotate them.
