The automated scan produced a single warning and no lower-priority improvement suggestions. The warning indicates exposure of sensitive credentials — a generic API key and a private key — and references a GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-2464-8j7c-4cjm). These findings elevate risk because embedded keys and private keys can allow unauthorized access if not removed or rotated promptly. Recommended actions are to remove secrets from the repository, rotate the affected keys, apply the advisory’s remediation steps, and implement secret scanning (like Rafter) and secure key management to prevent recurrence.
prometheus/prometheus is the official Go implementation of Prometheus, an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit. The codebase implements the Prometheus server: metric scraping with service discovery, a high-performance time-series database (TSDB), the PromQL query engine, rule and alert evaluation, HTTP APIs and a web UI, plus integrations for remote storage and exporters. It also includes CLI utilities (like promtool), configuration handling for scrape jobs and alerting rules, and components for performance, durability, and scaling.
Great job! No security vulnerabilities were detected in this scan.
Rafter scans public repos every day to educate the internet about security vulnerabilities and make the web more secure. We hide the critical errors so nobody gets hacked.
This repository contains code for prometheus/prometheus. The scan was performed on the main branch to identify potential security vulnerabilities and provide recommendations for improvement.
This is a public security report. Critical vulnerabilities (error-level issues) have been hidden to protect the codebase from being hacked. We show at most the top 100 issues.
