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?

config/CONFIG

Docker

What an attacker could do

Exposed Docker or registry config files can leak registry credentials, image references, and environment settings, letting an attacker pull or push images and pivot into the container infrastructure.

How to defend it

Keep Docker config and registry credential files out of web-served directories, store secrets in a vault or Docker secrets, and ensure the web server returns a clean 404 for such paths.
