Description
> A sensitive file was identified as accessible or available. This may leak administrative, configuration, or credential information which can be leveraged by a malicious individual to further attack the system or conduct social engineering efforts.
The pentest identified two files that may contain sensitive data. They did this by noting the status code of an http request, which returned 200, rather than 404, which is due to this application being a single page app that returns 200 on all pages. Recommend that this finding be closed.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Review the pentest finding and confirm whether the two referenced files are actually accessible or whether the single-page application returns HTTP 200 for all routes; done means documenting the evidence and closing or correcting the finding.
