Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Removal of Sensitive Information Before Storage or Transfer in the Bulk Variables API due to the redact function being called without the variable key, which prevents the should_hide_value_for_key check from triggering on secret-suffixed key names. An attacker can access sensitive plaintext values from JSON variables by exploiting this oversight when authenticated with bulk Variable read permissions. This is only exploitable if sensitive values are stored in JSON-typed variables under secret-suffixed key names.
