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.

Python Requirements File

What an attacker could do

Lists exact Python package versions, letting an attacker match the stack against known CVEs and craft precise exploits, and may reveal internal package index URLs.

How to defend it

Keep requirements files out of the publicly served directory, regularly patch pinned dependencies, and store private index credentials in environment variables rather than the file.
