+<overview>
+<p>Spring Boot includes a number of additional features called actuators that let you monitor
+and interact with your web application. Exposing unprotected actuator endpoints via JXM or HTTP
+can, however, lead to information disclosure or even to remote code execution vulnerability.</p>
+</overview>
+
+<recommendation>
+<p>Since actuator endpoints may contain sensitive information, careful consideration should be
+given about when to expose them. You should take care to secure exposed HTTP endpoints in the same
+way that you would any other sensitive URL. If Spring Security is present, endpoints are secured by
+default using Spring Security’s content-negotiation strategy. If you wish to configure custom
+security for HTTP endpoints, for example, only allow users with a certain role to access them,
+Spring Boot provides some convenient <code>RequestMatcher</code> objects that can be used in
+combination with Spring Security.</p>
+</recommendation>
+
+<example>
+<p>In the first example, the custom security configuration allows unauthenticated access to all
+actuator endpoints. This may lead to sensitive information disclosure and should be avoided.</p>
+<p>In the second example, only users with <code>ENDPOINT_ADMIN</code> role are allowed to access
+the actuator endpoints.</p>
+
