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?

nomad/v1/agent/self

HashiCorp Nomad Agent Info

What an attacker could do

The agent-self endpoint exposes Nomad version, region, and config, and an unauthenticated API allows job submission that runs attacker-controlled workloads and reaches host resources.

How to defend it

Enable Nomad ACLs and mTLS, bind the HTTP API to private networks, and require tokens before any job submission or agent introspection.
