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?

identity/connect/authorize

IdentityServer4 Authorization Endpoint

What an attacker could do

An exposed IdentityServer4 OIDC authorization endpoint lets attackers probe client_ids, redirect_uris, and scopes to find misconfigured clients usable for token theft via open-redirect or implicit-flow abuse.

How to defend it

Enforce strict redirect_uri allowlists per client, disable the implicit flow in favor of authorization code with PKCE, and require client authentication for confidential clients.
