Probe patterns this covers

/hasura/.env /graphql/.env /v1/graphql console probes

These paths appeared in real access-log noise and are useful as a trigger to review public roots, reverse-proxy locations and deployment artifacts.

Safe first response

  1. Do not serve Hasura project folders or compose directories from a public document root.
  2. Treat HASURA_GRAPHQL_ADMIN_SECRET and database URLs as rotate-immediately values if they ever hit a public response.
  3. Keep console/admin endpoints private or authenticated; separate public GraphQL APIs from admin tooling.
  4. Block dotfiles and common config backups at the edge and origin, then verify with harmless HEAD/GET checks.
  5. Track probes in logs without printing request bodies or secrets into monitoring dashboards.

Copy-ready Nginx/OpenResty deny pattern

location ~ /(?:^|/)\.(?:env|git|svn|hg) { return 404; }
location ~* (?:\.env|\.bak|\.save|\.old|config\.php)$ { return 404; }

Place defensive deny rules before broad static/proxy locations, then test with harmless requests. Keep real secrets out of public directories entirely.
