Paparan berkas for Apache HTTP Server

critical5 checks

Repositories, environment files, database dumps and backups are the fastest path from reconnaissance to full compromise.

What Apache HTTP Server must have

  • /.git and /.svn not reachable
  • /.env, /.env.local and config backups return 404
  • No .sql, .zip or .tar.gz dumps in the web root
  • Debug consoles and admin panels not publicly reachable
  • Directory listing disabled

How to fix it

  1. 1Serve nothing from the web root that is not meant to be public
  2. 2Block dotfiles at the edge and rotate every secret that was exposed

Apache HTTP Server context

Long-standing web server and reverse proxy with a module ecosystem.

Disable autoindex, restrict /server-status, and keep mod_proxy/mod_cgi patched (CVE-2024-38476).
