Synopsis

Prometheus Sensitive Endpoint Detected

Description

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring solution which is designed to record metrics in a dimensional data model to make it available through its own PromQL query language or built-in visualization capabilities. Prometheus offer multiple libraries (named 'Exporters') to help exporting these endpoints and make it available to third-party tools. When publicly exposed, a remote and unauthenticated attacker could leverage the data to understand the target application environment and try conducting further attack.

Solution

Ensure that the detected sensitive endpoint is not publicly available by requiring authentication or applying IP source filtering.
