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?

configmap.yaml

Kubernetes ConfigMap

What an attacker could do

A ConfigMap reveals internal service names, environment variables, feature flags, and backend endpoints that help an attacker map the cluster and locate higher-value targets.

How to defend it

Do not expose Kubernetes manifests via HTTP, store them in access-controlled repos, and keep sensitive values in Secrets rather than ConfigMaps.
