Findings
Data exposure detected
Updated: June 19, 2025
Description
An exposed resource has been discovered.
Sensitive information or data has been potentially exposed to unauthorized access or unintended parties. This could occur due to various reasons such as misconfigured permissions, insecure storage practices, or vulnerabilities in the system or application handling the data.
Example Attack
Unsecured APIs: Attackers might exploit poorly secured APIs that expose sensitive data due to insufficient authentication or authorization controls. They could access endpoints meant for administrative or privileged users, gaining access to sensitive information stored or transmitted via these APIs.
Remediation
Verify that the exposure is intentional or take steps to secure access to the resource.
Security Frameworks
APIs tend to expose more endpoints than traditional web applications, making proper and updated documentation highly important. A proper inventory of hosts and deployed API versions also are important to mitigate issues such as deprecated API versions and exposed debug endpoints.
