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.

Remediation

Verify that the exposure is intentional or take steps to secure access to the resource.

Example Attack Scenario

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.
