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?

dashboard/test.php

phpMyAdmin

What an attacker could do

A leftover phpMyAdmin or PHP test script can disclose the PHP configuration via phpinfo, revealing versions, loaded modules, paths, and environment variables useful for crafting targeted exploits.

How to defend it

Remove test and diagnostic scripts from production, disable phpinfo output, and restrict phpMyAdmin access to trusted IPs behind authentication.
