What is Information Disclosure?

Information disclosure occurs when applications expose data that helps attackers plan further attacks. Examples include detailed error messages with stack traces, server version headers, directory listings, exposed configuration files, debug endpoints, and source code comments containing credentials. While not directly exploitable, information disclosure provides attackers with reconnaissance data about technology stacks, internal paths, and potential attack vectors.
