Docker Compose Configuration Detected

Synopsis

Docker Compose Configuration Detected

Description

Docker Compose is a tool designed to help developers defining and running multi-container Docker applications. By defining a configuration file named `docker-compose.yml` in their application project directory, developers can define the different services used by the application with their configurations.

By accessing an exposed `docker-compose.yml` file, an attacker could leverage the vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Solution

Ensure that the `docker-compose.yml` file is not deployed with the application or, at least, is not exposed in a web server directory by setting proper permissions on it. If sensitive information like credentials are leaked in the exposed file, they should be revoked and reset on the affected assets.
