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/health
Spring Boot Actuator
What an attacker could do
Confirms a Spring Boot app and, if other actuator endpoints (env, heapdump, mappings) are unsecured, can leak environment variables, credentials, and full heap memory dumps enabling deeper compromise.
How to defend it
Restrict actuator endpoints with Spring Security, expose only /health with management.endpoints.web.exposure.include limited explicitly, and bind the management port to an internal interface.
