Vedant participated in our Responsible Disclosure program. He responsibly reported his research and shared information that allowed us to quickly address the issue.

Security researcher Vedant Tekale reported that our server configuration exposed debug endpoints on packaging.thethingsnetwork.org, a discontinued project for packaging gateway firmware and configuration. These debug endpoints could give attackers information about the inner workings of our systems, which may be used for more directed attacks. Since this project was already discontinued for a while, we decided to remove completely. We would like to thank Vedant Tekale for responsibly disclosing this issue and making The Things Network a safer place.
