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/v1/hasura/metadata

Hasura Metadata API

What an attacker could do

An unprotected Hasura metadata endpoint lets an attacker read the full GraphQL schema, permissions, and remote/event configurations, and if the admin secret leaks, rewrite permissions to expose all underlying database tables.

How to defend it

Set a strong `HASURA_GRAPHQL_ADMIN_SECRET`, disable the console and metadata APIs in production, and restrict the metadata/admin endpoints to internal networks only.
