AI-suggested
Upgrade Contrast (Edgeless Systems) to version 1.8.1 or later, where this logging issue is fixed. Until upgraded, avoid using the default info log level or debug level in the Contrast initializer to prevent logging sensitive workload secrets. Deployments not using workload secrets are not affected and require no action.
Description
Contrast (Edgeless Systems) versions before 1.8.1 log workload secrets to stderr and Kubernetes logs when the log level is set to info or debug, exposing sensitive information to users with access to Kubernetes logs. The default log level is info, so all default installations prior to 1.8.1 are affected. Deployments not using workload secrets are not impacted. This vulnerability was fixed in version 1.8.1.
