Overview

github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/pkg/kafka/auth is a distributed tracing platform.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Sensitive information is written to a log file when the Kafka data store is used. This flaw allows an attacker with access to the container's log file to discover the Kafka credentials.
