Neil Craig<p>Of course, there are other ways to configure sensitive values but I don't think it's necessarily obvious or front of mind when updating config and I honestly can't see (as someone who configures multiple services on Akamai regularly) why this feature is needed.<br>Unsure if it can be disabled or auth'd but I don't see any way to do that.<br>There are some docs which cover it a little bit: <a href="https://techdocs.akamai.com/download-delivery/docs/test-your-dd-property#4-install-an-extension" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">techdocs.akamai.com/download-d</span><span class="invisible">elivery/docs/test-your-dd-property#4-install-an-extension</span></a>. <br>Just though it might not be common knowledge.<br>2/2<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Akamai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Akamai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ReadTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadTeam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BlueTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlueTeam</span></a></p>
Neil Craig<p>Akamai has what I personally think is a seriously risky mechanism for debugging HTTP requests/responses. You can send an HTTP request header of `pragma: akamai-x-get-extracted-values` for a URL served via Akamai &amp; it'll return `x-akamai-session-info` response headers which include user-defined config variables - that's where the main risk is IMO. People may well not realise this feature exists &amp; use the vars for sensitive info e.g. backend auth keys.<br>1/2<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Akamai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Akamai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ReadTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadTeam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BlueTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlueTeam</span></a></p>
