I have recently ran my website with CakePHP. Today, when I was looking at the logs, I found this line:

Error: [MissingControllerException] Controller class Crossdomain.xmlController could not be found.

It means this page is not found:

http://www.mywebsite.com/crossdomain.xml

What's that XML file? and its usage? I don't have link to this file in my website, so users shouldn't go to this page.. (also, I don't have any SWF media on my pages)

Note: I ran my website on a subdomain.

Thanks.

  • @Wooble: they were about Flash media, which I don't have!... – mrdaliri Oct 18 '12 at 17:37
  • Well, then someone's trying to fetch your crossdomain.xml for for no reason at all. – Wooble Oct 18 '12 at 17:39
  • @Wooble: so what should I do? just ignore these errors? – mrdaliri Oct 18 '12 at 17:43
  • If you don't want to make things on your site available to external flash applications, yes, you can ignore them. Along with the tons of requests you'll get looking for dozens of different CMSes with security holes, etc. – Wooble Oct 18 '12 at 17:45
  • Yep they are just bots trying to find vulnerabilities into your site. Ignore them or you can block the IP address the request came from if it continues to happen from the same IP over and over. – Pitchinnate Oct 18 '12 at 17:49
