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/internal/config

Internal Configuration API

What an attacker could do

An internal config endpoint reachable externally can dump application settings, connection strings, and secret keys, or allow runtime reconfiguration that weakens security controls.

How to defend it

Bind internal endpoints to loopback or a private network, enforce authentication, and never expose configuration values through any externally routable path.
