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?
actuator/gateway/routes
Spring Boot Actuator
What an attacker could do
An exposed Spring Boot Actuator gateway endpoint reveals internal routing config and, combined with other actuator endpoints, can enable SSRF, config disclosure, or remote code execution via env/refresh manipulation.
How to defend it
Restrict actuator endpoints to internal access, expose only health/info, require authentication via Spring Security, and set management.endpoints.web.exposure.include to a minimal allowlist.
