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/token

IdentityServer4 Token Endpoint

What an attacker could do

The IdentityServer4 token endpoint issues OAuth/OIDC access and refresh tokens; weak client secrets or permissive grant types here allow attackers to mint valid tokens and impersonate users or services.

How to defend it

Use high-entropy client secrets, restrict each client to only the grant types it needs, and rate-limit token requests to slow credential-stuffing and brute-force attempts.
