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?

render/api/v1/services

Render Services API

What an attacker could do

A valid Render API key reaching the services endpoint lets an attacker list services, read environment variables and secret files, and trigger deploys or modify start commands to run arbitrary code in the hosted environment.

How to defend it

Store the Render API key as a secret and rotate it if exposed, restrict its use to trusted CI runners, mark sensitive config as secret env vars/files, and enable account 2FA and audit review.
