Sensitive information written to a log file vulnerability was found in jaegertracing/jaeger before version 1.18.1 when the Kafka data store is used. This flaw allows an attacker with access to the containers log file to discover the Kafka credentials.
Information written to log files can be of a sensitive nature and give valuable guidance to an attacker or expose sensitive user information.

While logging all information may be helpful during development stages, it is important that logging levels be set appropriately before a product ships so that sensitive user data and system information are not accidentally exposed to potential attackers. Different log files may be produced and stored for:
