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/packed-refs
Git packed references file listing branch and tag tips
What an attacker could do
This file lists branch and tag commit tips, giving an attacker the object hashes needed to download and reassemble repository contents from an exposed .git directory.
How to defend it
Block HTTP access to .git, ensure deployments exclude version-control metadata, and serve a 404 for any .git path while auditing for already-leaked source or secrets.
