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?

v1/messages

Anthropic Claude Messages API

What an attacker could do

A reachable Anthropic Messages endpoint carrying your API key allows attackers to run Claude completions on your account, incurring charges and exfiltrating the key for continued unauthorized use.

How to defend it

Never embed the Anthropic key client-side; route requests through an authenticated backend with rate limits and spend alerts, and rotate any key that may have been exposed.
