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?

railway/api/projects

Railway Projects API

What an attacker could do

A leaked Railway API token exposing projects lets an attacker read service configurations and environment variables (database URLs, secrets) and deploy or delete services, leading to data access and infrastructure takeover.

How to defend it

Keep Railway tokens out of source control and CI logs, rotate any exposed token, use project-scoped tokens with least privilege, and enable two-factor authentication on the account.
