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?

_all_dbs

MongoDB

What an attacker could do

This CouchDB endpoint lists every database on the server; if reachable without auth it confirms an open CouchDB instance and lets an attacker enumerate and then read or modify all databases.

How to defend it

Enable CouchDB authentication and require admin credentials, bind it to localhost or a private network, disable the admin party, and place it behind a firewall.
