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?
.idea/workspace.xml
JetBrains IDE workspace file that can leak project paths and configuration
What an attacker could do
Leaks JetBrains project internals such as local file paths, run configurations, and tool settings, exposing developer environment details and the application's directory structure.
How to defend it
Block the .idea directory at the web server, exclude IDE metadata from deployment artifacts, and add it to .gitignore so it never ships to production.
