How the module works?

The "Detect Haproxy Exporter" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the target system's "/metrics" endpoint. It then applies a series of matching conditions to determine if the Haproxy Exporter software is present and if any potential issues exist.

The matching conditions used in this module are as follows:

- The response body must contain the word "HELP haproxy_" - The response body must contain either the words "haproxy_exporter" or "haproxy_backend" - The HTTP response status code must be 200

If all of these conditions are met, the module will report a potential misconfiguration or vulnerability related to the Haproxy Exporter software.
