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?

redis/info

Redis Server Information

What an attacker could do

The INFO output leaks Redis version, memory, client, and persistence configuration, and an unauthenticated Redis allows arbitrary key access and CONFIG-based writes that can lead to RCE.

How to defend it

Set requirepass or ACLs, bind to localhost or a private network, disable or rename dangerous commands like CONFIG and SLAVEOF, and enable protected mode.
