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?
api/index.php/v1/config/application?public=true
GitLab
What an attacker could do
Probes a GitLab/Joomla-style config API that, if misconfigured, returns application settings including database credentials, secret keys, and SMTP passwords, enabling full account and infrastructure takeover.
How to defend it
Patch to a fixed version, ensure config API endpoints require authentication, and remove or restrict any debug/config-dump routes; rotate any secrets that may have been exposed.
