The Crowdsec integration defaults to the exposing and binding of port :6060 in the compose file (https://{server-ip}:6060/metrics). While this is not necessarily a security vulnerability, it is a bad practice. Especially because the metrics are not used by anything (at least not as of yet).

The option to expose the metrics should either be asked in the installer script or excluded all together. A user who needs it can always add it afterwards.
