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/influxdb/query
InfluxDB Query API
What an attacker could do
An exposed InfluxDB query API lets an attacker read time-series metrics that often reveal infrastructure topology and business KPIs, and on unauthenticated instances run DROP queries to destroy measurements and databases.
How to defend it
Enable authentication and per-user/per-bucket tokens, serve the API over TLS, and bind InfluxDB to a private interface behind a firewall or proxy.
