CVE-2021-25643
Internal users with administrator privileges, @cbq-engine-cbauth and @index-cbauth, leak credentials in cleartext in the indexer.log file when they make a /listCreateTokens, /listRebalanceTokens, or /listMetadataTokens call.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.50%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Internal users with administrator privileges, @cbq-engine-cbauth and @index-cbauth, leak credentials in cleartext in the indexer.log file when they make a /listCreateTokens, /listRebalanceTokens, or /listMetadataTokens call.
