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/refs/heads/master
Git reference pointing to the tip commit of the master branch, part of an exposed .git directory.
What an attacker could do
Combined with other readable .git objects, it lets an attacker reconstruct the repository and its history, exposing source code, secrets, and credentials.
How to defend it
Block all access to .git at the web server, deploy from a clean build artifact rather than a working clone, and rotate any secrets found in history.
