Thousands of Authelia login portals found exposed on port 9091, outside intended proxy setup
A ZoomEye scan on 23 October 2026 returned 11,813 hosts with an Authelia title and 1,736 of them on port 9091. Authelia is designed to sit behind a reverse proxy, so direct public exposure of its portal is a configuration the documentation does not recommend. Such exposure makes the login form reachable from anywhere, allowing password spraying and exposing any registration or reset flows that are enabled. The scan results do not reveal software versions, patch status, or actual vulnerabilities, so the findings indicate configuration rather than confirmed weakness. The author notes that quick deployments are likely the cause, since convenience can conflict with the security architecture of such companions.
