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.

Service Status Endpoint

What an attacker could do

How to defend it

Limit public status output to a generic OK response, and restrict detailed status data to authenticated operators or an internal monitoring network.
