🤖 Lighthouse AI + MCP Server

This release introduces major improvements to Lighthouse AI, now powered by Prowler’s official MCP Server, significantly enhancing performance, reliability, and the quality of AI-driven interactions across the platform:

• Lighthouse AI now runs on the official MCP Server, providing a standardized and reliable foundation for AI interactions across Prowler.
• Improved Lighthouse AI architecture, delivering faster responses and a more consistent, structured output format.
• Smarter AI model selection for the OpenAI provider, automatically loading only chat-compatible models with tool-calling support to ensure a smoother experience.
• New MCP tools for Compliance Framework Management, enabling AI assistants to query compliance status across multiple frameworks and drill down to requirement-level details.
• AI-optimized MCP tool responses across Prowler Hub and Docs, with standardized formats designed for faster and more accurate natural language interactions.

Together, these improvements make Lighthouse AI more robust, scalable, and capable of delivering actionable security and compliance insights through natural language.

🔇 Simple Mutelist

Findings can be muted after scanning from the finding table. A new page is available in /mutelist where the user can handle simple and advanced Mutelist configuration.

🗂️ Category Overview & Filtering

We've introduced a powerful new way to analyze your security posture by category. A new endpoint provides an overview of categories based on finding severities, giving you instant visibility into how different security domains are performing across your environment. Additionally, both GET /findings and GET /findings/latest endpoints now support category filtering, making it easier to drill down into specific security domains.

📄 Enhanced PDF Reporting

PDF reports now include richer context with Account ID, Alias, and Provider Name directly in the reporting table. This makes exported reports more actionable and easier to share across teams, providing all the context needed without cross-referencing other sources.

⚡ Performance & Reliability Improvements

The GET /overviews/attack-surfaces endpoint has been streamlined by removing related check IDs from the response, improving performance and reducing payload size. Additionally, scheduled scan tasks now have a more reliable initialization with optimized execution timing.

🛡️ New AWS Security Categories

Two new AWS check categories have been added: privilege-escalation and ec2-imdsv1.
These categories improve visibility into high-risk misconfigurations, helping teams more easily identify paths to privilege escalation and legacy EC2 Instance Metadata Service v1 usage.

🔄 Updated AWS Service Metadata

Multiple AWS services have been migrated to the new service metadata format, including Glue, Kafka, KMS, MemoryDB, Inspector v2, Service Catalog, SNS, Trusted Advisor, and WAF (v1 and v2).
These updates improve consistency, accuracy, and long-term maintainability across AWS checks.

🧹 Data & Category Consistency Fixes

Several fixes improve correctness and normalization across providers:

• Corrected the trust-boundaries category naming.
• Fixed Bedrock Agent regional availability using official AWS documentation.
• Normalized region storage to lowercase for MongoDB Atlas and GCP Cloud Storage buckets.

📄 M365 Certificate Authentication

We have deprecated support for user and password authentication after Microsoft introduced mandatory interactive MFA for this type of sign-in. To ensure secure and seamless integration with Microsoft 365, and to provide an alternative to client secrets, we've added support for certificate-based authentication in Microsoft Entra.

This new method allows our integration to authenticate using trusted certificates instead of credentials, reducing the risk of credential exposure and improving reliability. Certificates offer a stronger and more stable authentication mechanism, ensuring secure access to Microsoft 365 resources while complying with modern identity and access management standards.

🔒 Security

• By default, Prowler API JWT key-pair is automatically generated and stored if not manually set. This ensures that each installation has a unique key pair, preventing possible attacks in the self-hosted deployment.
• RBAC MANAGE_ACCOUNT permission is required to modify or read user permissions instead of MANAGE_USERS.
