Hi @HanumanthaRAON, the behaviour you are describing is not a bug. The dashboard server is not authenticated, if you expose it to the internet, you are running it at your own risk.

With that said you can make it to listen in a different network interface with HOST=0.0.0.0 prowler dashboard. Please refer to our documentation here to know

Thanks for using Prowler 🚀

@jfagoagas , Thanks for your reply, But I am running the prowler on docker to expose it. How to expose the dashboard if we are running locally in Ec2 server.

Even if we run the docker the default location it is taking /home/prowler/outputs/ but currently I don't have that location on my server.

Please suggest on this

Hi @HanumanthaRAON as you can see in the Prowler documentation here for a docker container you can run docker run --env HOST=0.0.0.0 --publish 127.0.0.1:11666:11666 toniblyx/prowler:latest dashboard to expose the service in a different network interface.

If you want to access the internal outputs path you need to use Docker Volumes, refer here for more documentation about it. You can use the -v flag to map volumes within the host and the container.
