How to Verify a Security Fix for an Exposed Development Endpoint

A development or diagnostic endpoint may remain accessible after its intended temporary use ends. Removing a link from the interface does not confirm that the route or API is no longer reachable.

What to check

Check authorized routes, DNS and host mappings, access logs, authentication, deployment configuration, and environment-specific feature flags. Test from the intended external and internal perspectives within approved scope.

Recommended next step

Remove or restrict the endpoint at the routing and application layers, then retest direct access. Record its owner and add release checks that prevent development routes from reaching production.
