A flaw was found in python-oslo-utils. Due to improper parsing, passwords with a double quote ( ) in them cause incorrect masking in debug logs, causing any part of the password after the double quote to be plaintext.
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:
