Summary

A flaw was found in postgres-exporter. Due to the blank import of `net/http/pprof`, debug endpoints are exposed on the unauthenticated metrics listener. A remote attacker within the cluster network can access these endpoints. This allows for information disclosure, potentially revealing process arguments, full goroutine stacks, and sensitive data like database connection strings or passwords from heap dumps. Additionally, repeated CPU profiling through these endpoints can lead to a denial of service.

Risk Assessment

An attacker within the cluster network could access sensitive data, including database credentials, and cause a denial of service through repeated CPU profiling.

Recommendation

Update postgres-exporter to a version where pprof endpoints are not exposed on the unauthenticated metrics listener, or restrict network access to that listener.
