CVE-2026-119566: Prometheus through 3.15.1 Credential Leak via remote_write Cross-Host Redirects
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: azl3 telegraf 1.31.0-35 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 telegraf 1.31.0-36 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to azl3 telegraf 1.31.0-35 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 telegraf 1.31.0-36 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Prometheus through 3.15.1 contains a credential leak vulnerability that allows attackers to capture Azure AD or Google IAM bearer tokens by redirecting remote_write requests to another host. Attackers controlling the remote-write endpoint or a redirecting server can return a 3xx to their host and replay the token, for example to write metrics to the victim's backend.
