Isn't that why get requests should be safe?

@alexbrooklyn yeah.. But this was a file on my localhost I executed once in a while a long time ago for some automated stuffs. Was probably added by accident via a key combo or something like that.

Have you ever heard about cron jobs?

@sgzadrian manual trigger when you don't want to wait for the cron and can't be bothered jumping onto the server.

But NO you shouldn't keep said files located in a place that A) can be triggered accidentally or B) in a place that randomly fires requests.

That's why there should be no unsafe API endpoints that respond to GET.

I think the lesson learned here should be: don't perform fucking actions on GET requests.

@kescherRant @stacked Absolutly true. But I sometimes use php scripts for local stuffs as a random example (should switch to shell scripts instead) to create backups and whatnot (no server or API stuff)

@stacked for some scripts not, because some are local files that you have to know where they’re stored and you’d have to have access to my actual device (+ nothing security or data related). The bookmark was by accident via a key-combo probably.
