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?
cloud-config
Cloud-init cloud-config file used to provision instances
What an attacker could do
Reveals cloud-init provisioning configuration including package lists, users, and any inline credentials, helping an attacker understand and reproduce the instance setup.
How to defend it
Keep provisioning data out of web-accessible paths, reference secrets from a secrets manager rather than inline, and enforce IMDSv2 to prevent SSRF retrieval of metadata.
