I guess you need to raise here:

Did you explore, restricting the access via closed user group for the particular URL? 

Basically you have to update the permissions to deny "anonymous" access and allow only a specific user group to access it. Please check https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/administering/security/cug.html?lang=e...

The second option is to restrict the access particular URLs at apache httpd (dispatcher) server via htaccess file by creating a rule similar to mentioned below

SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/YOURURL auth=1

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/.myhtpasswd"

# first, allow everybody
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy any
Allow from all
Require valid-user
# then, deny only if required
Deny from env=auth
