_profiler/info

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?

_profiler/info

Symfony

What an attacker could do

The Symfony Web Profiler exposes request data, database queries, configuration, environment variables, and session contents, giving an attacker deep insight into the application and potential credentials.

How to defend it

Disable the profiler in production (web_profiler bundle should load only in dev/test), and block /_profiler at the web server level.
