Synopsis

Apache Configuration File Detected

Description

Apache configuration files may contain sensitive information about the web server and its environment. If an attacker is able to access these files, they may be able to gather information that could be used to exploit vulnerabilities in the web server or its applications.

Solution

Ensure that the 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.
