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?

prefect/api/flows

Prefect Workflow API

What an attacker could do

Open access to the Prefect API allows an attacker to list and run flow deployments, read flow run parameters and logs, and access blocks that often hold cloud and database secrets, leading to remote code execution on agents/workers.

How to defend it

Enable Prefect Cloud/Server authentication with API keys, scope workspace roles tightly, encrypt and restrict access to secret blocks, and keep the API server off the public internet.
