It may results from a large-scale unauthenticated scraping of publicly available and non-secured Prometheus endpoints, which contain many types of sensitive data that were exposed, often without the developers knowledge.

QID Detection Logic (Un-Authenticated)
It sends GET request to /api/v1/status/config and /api/v1/targets to check for sensitive information leaks.

It may leak sensitive information like configuration details of endpoints.
