There is no fixed version for Echo:latest prometheus-postgres-exporter.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream prometheus-postgres-exporter package and not the prometheus-postgres-exporter package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
