Description

Section titled “Description”

A Prometheus config API endpoint was discovered. The config endpoint returns the loaded Prometheus configuration file along with the addresses of targets and alerting/discovery services alongside the credentials required to access them. Usually, Prometheus replaces the passwords in the credentials config configuration field with the placeholder (although this still leaks the username).
