Checks

robots.txt lists sensitive paths

robots.txt mentions a path such as /admin, /wp-admin, /.env, /backup, /phpmyadmin, or /server-status.

Why it matters

robots.txt is public. Listing those paths tells anyone they exist, even when Disallow asks crawlers to skip them.

What to do

Remove administrative and backup paths from robots.txt. Do not rely on it as access control.

Reference

Server and framework disclosure headers reveal implementation details useful to attackers.
