Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Miniflux (miniflux.app/v2) versions before 2.0.43 are vulnerable. An unauthenticated remote attacker can reach a publicly exposed instance with the metrics collector enabled and the default allowed networks setting, and retrieve Prometheus metrics. Upgrade to version 2.0.43 or later; alternatively, keep the metrics collector disabled, which is the default. The package miniflux.app at versions 1.0.46 and earlier has no fixed version listed.
