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/settings.inc.php
phpMyAdmin
What an attacker could do
This phpMyAdmin or PrestaShop configuration file contains database hostnames, usernames, and passwords, granting an attacker direct database access if disclosed.
How to defend it
Store configuration outside the web root or deny direct access via web server rules, set restrictive file permissions, and never serve .php source as plaintext.
