How to fix?

Upgrade ethyca-fides to version 2.37.0 or higher.

Overview

ethyca-fides is an Open-source ecosystem for data privacy as code.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure Through an Error Message due to a flaw in the internal function handling sensitive annotations, which fails to mask nested sensitive fields properly. An attacker can access sensitive data such as private keys by exploiting this vulnerability in the API endpoint exposure. This is only exploitable if the BigQuery connection configuration secrets are used, as other connection types with non-nested sensitive fields are not affected.
