### Impact
Possible Exploitation Outcomes:
Unauthorized profiling of backend infrastructure
Visibility into server load and performance trends
Ability to plan resource exhaustion (DoS) attacks with precision
Identification of potential weak points for further exploitation
Note: Public exposure of operational data like this violates security best practices and the principle of least privilege — such endpoints should not be exposed to unauthenticated users.
