Synopsis

Parameters YML Configuration Detected

Description

`parameters.yml` is a configuration file commonly used in Symfony-based web applications to store various settings, including database credentials, API keys, and other sensitive information.

This plugin checks for the presence of the `parameters.yml` file in web applications. If this file is publicly accessible, it can lead to the exposure of sensitive information that could be exploited by attackers.

Solution

Ensure that the `parameters.yml` configuration 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.
