Infosec in brief There’s a problem of titanic proportions brewing for users of the Prometheus open source monitoring toolkit: hundreds of thousands of servers and exporters are exposed to the internet, creating significant security risks and leaving organizations vulnerable to attack.
-
The research identified vulnerabilities in Prometheus, including information disclosure from exposed servers, DoS risks from pprof endpoints, and potential code execution threats, which could lead to data breaches, system outages, and unauthorized access.
-
Over 336,000 Prometheus servers and Exporters were exposed to DoS attacks, allowing attackers to obtain sensitive information such as credentials and API keys.

In this research, we uncovered several vulnerabilities and security flaws within the Prometheus ecosystem. These findings span across three major areas: information disclosure, denial-of-service (DoS), and code execution. We found that exposed Prometheus servers or exporters, often lacking proper authentication, allowed attackers to easily gather sensitive information, such as credentials and API keys.
