CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedInstances of Static Web Server with both basic authentication and metrics features enabled are vulnerable to unauthorized access, as the /metrics endpoint is processed before the authentication check. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access sensitive Prometheus metrics, potentially exposing critical operational data such as virtual host names and request volumes. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 2.44.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Static Web Server (SWS) is a production-ready web server suitable for static web files or assets. Through 2.43.0, instances with both basic-auth and metrics features enabled process the /metrics endpoint before the basic-auth check in src/handler.rs, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to retrieve Prometheus metrics that disclose virtual host names, request volumes, error rates, latency distributions, and active connections. This issue is fixed in version 2.44.0.
