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?

docker-compose.yml

Docker Compose Configuration

What an attacker could do

Reveals service topology, container image versions, mounted volume paths, and frequently hard-coded database passwords, API keys, and environment variables an attacker can use to pivot into backing services.

How to defend it

Keep compose files out of the web root and never commit them to a public repo; load secrets from a secrets manager or .env file referenced via env_file rather than inline literals.
