Spring Boot Actuator Endpoint Detected

Severity:
Medium
Summary

Invicti detected the Spring Boot Actuator Endpoint.

Impact

Actuator endpoints allow you to monitor and interact with your Spring application. Spring Boot includes a number of built-in endpoints and you can also add your own. For example the health endpoint provides basic application health information. The following endpoints are available:

  • /autoconfig - Displays an auto-configuration report showing all auto-configuration candidates and the reason why they 'were' or 'were not' applied.
  • /beans - Displays a complete list of all the Spring beans in your application.
  • /configprops - Displays a collated list of all @ConfigurationProperties.
  • /dump - Performs a thread dump.
  • /env - Exposes properties from Spring's ConfigurableEnvironment.
  • /health - Shows application health information (a simple 'status' when accessed over an unauthenticated connection or full message details when authenticated).
  • /info - Displays arbitrary application info.
  • /metrics - Shows 'metrics' information for the current application.
  • /mappings - Displays a collated list of all @RequestMapping paths.
  • /shutdown - Allows the application to be gracefully shutdown (not enabled by default).
  • /trace - Displays trace information (by default the last few HTTP requests).
Remediation

In production, it is recommended to disable access to these endpoints.
