An unauthenticated user can retrieve Prometheus metrics from a publicly reachable Miniflux instance where the METRICS_COLLECTOR
configuration option is enabled and METRICS_ALLOWED_NETWORKS
is set to 127.0.0.1/8
(the default).
PR #1745 fixes the problem. Available in Miniflux >= 2.0.43.
Set METRICS_COLLECTOR
to false
(default) or run Miniflux behind a trusted reverse-proxy.
