Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.
You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.
What is this endpoint?
metrics
Prometheus Metrics Endpoint
What an attacker could do
An exposed Prometheus metrics endpoint leaks internal hostnames, route names, request volumes, error rates, and library versions that help attackers fingerprint the stack and plan timing or DoS attacks.
How to defend it
Bind the metrics endpoint to an internal interface or scrape network only, and place it behind authentication or an IP allowlist so it is never reachable from the public internet.
