OWASP	A01:2021 - Broken Access Control
Confidence Level	Medium
Impact Level	High
Likelihood Level	Medium

Description

Dangerous Spring Boot Actuator endpoints are enabled, exposing sensitive operational features beyond just 'health' checks. This can inadvertently make internal application details or controls accessible over the network.

Impact

Attackers could access sensitive endpoints to gather information about the application's internals, modify configurations, or perform destructive actions such as shutting down the service. This can lead to data leaks, service disruption, or unauthorized control over the application.
