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/loggers
Spring Boot Actuator loggers endpoint for viewing and changing log levels at runtime
What an attacker could do
Write access to this endpoint lets an attacker change log levels at runtime, enabling DEBUG/TRACE logging that can expose request bodies, tokens, and SQL, or be used to exhaust disk and degrade the service.
How to defend it
Do not expose the loggers endpoint publicly; require authentication on the Actuator management context, exclude it from web exposure, and restrict POST access so log configuration cannot be altered by anonymous users.
