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?
aws.yml
AWS credentials file
What an attacker could do
Exposes AWS access key ID and secret access key, granting the attacker direct API access to the account to read S3 buckets, spin up compute for cryptomining, or pivot across the AWS environment.
How to defend it
Never commit credential files to web roots or repos; serve a clean 404, rotate any leaked keys immediately, and use IAM roles or a secrets manager instead of static keys on disk.
