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/logfile
Spring Boot Actuator logfile endpoint exposing the application log
What an attacker could do
Direct access to the application log can expose stack traces, user data, session tokens, SQL statements, and credentials written during normal operation, aiding reconnaissance and account compromise.
How to defend it
Disable the logfile endpoint in production, require authentication on Actuator, avoid pointing logging.file to a web-accessible location, and ensure sensitive data is never written to logs.
