CHANGELOG.txt

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?

CHANGELOG.txt

CMS changelog file frequently used to fingerprint Drupal and other software versions

What an attacker could do

Discloses the exact CMS version and patch history, letting an attacker look up version-specific public exploits to target the installation precisely.

How to defend it

Delete or deny web access to CHANGELOG.txt and other version-fingerprinting files after deployment, and keep the CMS continuously updated.
