Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File in the handling of bulk requests to the PATCH /api/v2/variables and PATCH /api/v2/connections endpoints. An attacker can obtain sensitive secret values in cleartext by accessing the audit log, as the masking process did not apply to nested fields within bulk requests. This allows any authenticated user with audit-log read access to recover secrets without needing direct access to variables or connections.
