🏷️ New product names

The Prowler family has grown, and the names now say what each product is. Same products, clearer names:

Prowler products:

• Prowler Cloud — the managed cloud security platform operated by the Prowler team.
• Prowler Private Cloud (formerly Prowler Enterprise) — the self-hosted deployment of Prowler Cloud in your own environment.
• Prowler Hub — the free public library of versioned checks, cloud service artifacts, and compliance frameworks.
• Prowler Lighthouse AI — The Agentic Cloud Defender in Prowler Cloud and Prowler Private Cloud.
• Prowler MCP — the MCP server that connects AI assistants and agents to Prowler, including the IDE plugins.

Open source projects:

• Prowler CLI — the command-line scanner for all supported providers.
• Prowler Local Server (formerly Prowler App) — the self-hosted web application and API to run scans, visualize findings, and manage providers.
• Prowler Local Dashboard — the web dashboard for visualizing Prowler CLI scan results, distributed with the CLI.
• Prowler SDK — the Python library behind Prowler CLI and Prowler Local Server.

See the full family in the Prowler products documentation.

🧭 Cross-Provider Compliance

One framework, every cloud, a single answer. The new Cross-provider tab in Compliance takes the most recent completed scan of every compatible provider and rolls them up into a single compliance posture per framework, with a per-provider breakdown and a combined executive PDF report. Requirement status follows strict precedence (FAIL > PASS > MANUAL), so one failing provider is enough to flag a requirement across your whole estate.

Three universal frameworks support it today:

• CIS Controls 8.1 — AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Kubernetes, GitHub, Google Workspace, Okta, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Cloudflare, MongoDB Atlas, OpenStack, and Vercel.
• CSA CCM 4.0 — AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle Cloud.
• DORA 2022/2554 — AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Cloudflare.

Filter by provider type, account, or provider group, drill into each framework's requirements, and export the combined PDF.

🏢 New Provider — E2E Networks

Prowler now scans E2E Networks, with 27 checks spanning compute nodes, networking, security groups, load balancers, block and file storage, and managed databases. Thanks to @deepak7093 for their 1st provider in Prowler!

Available in the Prowler CLI:

export E2E_NETWORKS_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export E2E_NETWORKS_AUTH_TOKEN="your-auth-token"
export E2E_NETWORKS_PROJECT_ID="your-project-id"
prowler e2enetworks

🔐 Security

User role relationship updates in the API are now limited to the active tenant, preserving the role assignments the same user holds in other tenants.

🔍 Checks

AWS

• ec2_ami_account_block_public_access — verifies AMI block public access is enabled at the account level in each Region, so AMIs cannot be shared publicly. Thanks to @goutham-hari!
• datapipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition — scans Data Pipeline object fields, parameter objects, and parameter values for hardcoded secrets with Kingfisher. Thanks to @YinkaMetrics!
• elbv2_listener_pqc_tls_enabled — verifies ELBv2 HTTPS/TLS listeners use post-quantum TLS security policies with TLS 1.2 or higher, helping reduce harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure.
• amplify_app_no_secrets_in_environment — scans Amplify app and branch environment variables and build settings (buildSpec) for hardcoded secrets with Kingfisher. Thanks to @Deep070203!

Azure

• app_function_ensure_http_is_redirected_to_https — verifies that Function Apps enforce HTTPS-only traffic. Thanks to @amandalal007!

Kubernetes

• core_minimize_hostpath_volume_mounts — detects Pods that use hostPath volumes. Thanks to @0xTaoZ!
• core_readonly_root_filesystem_enabled — verifies that every container in each Pod explicitly sets readOnlyRootFilesystem: true in its security context. Thanks to @Weedle02!

STACKIT

• iaas_server_public_ip_attached — flags IaaS servers that have a public IP address directly attached to a network interface. Thanks to @johannes-engler-mw!

UI

🚀 Added

• Dynamically registered providers are now listed, filtered, and rendered across the UI, using a generic icon and humanized label when no bespoke assets exist, a "Custom" badge, and read-only handling for non-configurable providers (#11869)
• Prowler Local Server branding and contextual Prowler Cloud upgrade prompts across navigation, scans, providers, compliance, findings, alerts, and Lighthouse AI (#11982)

🔄 Changed

• UI components migrated from HeroUI to shared shadcn primitives (#11532)
• UI integration enable flags renamed to past tense — UI_SENTRY_ENABLE → UI_SENTRY_ENABLED, UI_GOOGLE_TAG_MANAGER_ENABLE → UI_GOOGLE_TAG_MANAGER_ENABLED, UI_POSTHOG_ENABLE → UI_POSTHOG_ENABLED; deployments that set the former names must update them (#11917)

🐞 Fixed

• Metronome billing failing to start when PostHog was enabled, caused by a stale reference to the renamed UI_POSTHOG_ENABLED flag (#11938)
• Lighthouse AI overview entry now starts a new remediation conversation, and returning to Overview restores app navigation mode (#11955)

API

🐞 Fixed

• rls_transaction now falls back directly to the primary DB for connection-level mid-query read replica failures via execute_wrapper, reducing non-streaming read crashes during replica recovery (#10379)
• RBAC permission gates now combine permissions from every role assigned to a user in the active tenant (#11979)
• attack-paths-cleanup-stale-scans now retries worker pings and checks recent scan activity before failing scans and removing temporary databases (#11986)

🔐 Security

• User role relationship updates are limited to the active tenant to preserve role assignments in other tenants (#11903)
• Container image removes the unused Debian libxml2 runtime package and scopes the CVE-2026-13221 Trivy exception to unaffected Perl 5.36 packages (#11991)

SDK

🚀 Added

• elbv2_listener_pqc_tls_enabled check for AWS provider, verifying that ELBv2 listeners use post-quantum TLS policies (#11254)
• iaas_server_public_ip_attached check for STACKIT provider, flagging IaaS servers that have a public IP address directly attached to a network interface (#11549)
• Changelog fragment workflow for SDK, API, UI, and MCP Server releases, including PR attribution, fragment validation, release compilation, and preserved section ordering (#11572)
• E2E Networks provider with 27 checks across compute nodes, networking, security groups, load balancers, block/file storage, and managed databases (#11654)
• datapipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition check for AWS provider, scanning Data Pipeline object fields, parameter objects, and parameter values for hardcoded secrets with Kingfisher (#11821)
• amplify_app_no_secrets_in_environment check for AWS provider, scanning Amplify app and branch environment variables and build settings for hardcoded secrets (#11825)

• app_function_ensure_http_is_redirected_to_https check for Azure provider, verifying that Function Apps enforce HTTPS-only traffic (#11929)

🔄 Changed

• Missing trailing newlines to compliance, region, and fixture data files for POSIX compliance (#11765)
• Oracle Cloud API key authentication now uses an internal bootstrap region when no explicit scan region filter is provided (#11853)
