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?

js/config.js

GitLab

What an attacker could do

An exposed GitLab or front-end config file can leak API endpoints, application settings, and occasionally tokens or keys embedded client-side, aiding reconnaissance and account compromise.

How to defend it

Keep secrets out of client-side JavaScript, serve only non-sensitive runtime config, and inject any required tokens server-side with proper scoping.
