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?
.pypirc
Python package-index configuration file that can contain PyPI credentials
What an attacker could do
Reveals PyPI/index usernames and passwords or API tokens, enabling an attacker to upload trojaned releases of your packages or access a private index.
How to defend it
Store upload credentials in environment variables or a secrets manager instead of .pypirc, restrict file permissions to 0600, and deny dotfile access at the web server.
