Never really thought about the risk of having such a heap dump endpoint, but afterwards its always clearer. Interesting story about this exploit recently shared by Chaos Computer Club (video only in German). How would you protect the endpoint? Expose on private port, require authentication?
Scary to see the impact a wrong Java Spring configuration. A heap dump endpoint was exposed publicly by Volkswagen (VQ), which basically means everything that is temporary stored in memory can be accessed by the attacker as well, including AWS credentials and geo location of million of cars.
