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?
s3cmd.ini
s3cmd configuration file containing AWS access and secret keys
What an attacker could do
Discloses AWS access_key and secret_key, granting an attacker direct API access to read, modify, or delete S3 buckets and any other resources the IAM credentials permit.
How to defend it
Never place s3cmd.ini under the web root, use IAM instance roles instead of long-lived keys, and immediately rotate and audit any exposed key pair.
