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?

kubernetes.yaml

Kubernetes Configuration

What an attacker could do

Exposes cluster manifests including namespaces, service accounts, image references, and any inline Secrets or ConfigMap data, giving an attacker a map of the deployment and potential base64-encoded credentials.

How to defend it

Store manifests in version control behind access controls, never in the web root; keep Secret material in a sealed-secrets or external secrets store rather than plaintext YAML.
