Turn off the Rails route listing page
tech-rails-routes
The Rails route listing page is serving, which only happens in development mode, and it reveals every controller and path. Set RAILS_ENV properly.
Why this matters
Rails route listing is exposed (development mode). It reveals endpoints and controllers — reconnaissance data, not directly exploitable.
Frameworks
Rails
- 1 Ensure RAILS_ENV is set to production. Route listing is only enabled in development mode.
- 2 If this is a staging environment, restrict access at the web server level
bash
# Set environment variable
export RAILS_ENV=production
# Verify in Rails console
Rails.env.production? # should be trueDoes your app still have this?
