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?
linkerd/api/v1/version
Linkerd Service Mesh API
What an attacker could do
The Linkerd version endpoint fingerprints the exact service-mesh build, letting an attacker match it against known CVEs, and a broadly reachable control plane API risks deeper mesh reconnaissance.
How to defend it
Keep the Linkerd control plane namespace internal to the cluster, gate its dashboard and APIs behind authentication, and patch to a supported release promptly.
