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?
ansible-vault.yml
Ansible Vault Encrypted File
What an attacker could do
Even though Vault files are encrypted, exposure lets attackers attempt offline brute-force of the vault password and reveals which hosts and secrets exist; a weak vault password yields full credential access.
How to defend it
Keep vault files out of web-accessible paths, use a strong unique vault password stored separately, and prefer a runtime secret manager over checked-in vault files.
