TL;DR

Affected versions of this package contain a vulnerability where sensitive authentication tokens are recorded in plaintext within TRACE-level application logs due to insufficient output sanitization in the gateway request handler; specifically, when the messagesSent counter is below a threshold, the full message containing the token is written to log files via LOG.trace('<- {}', message), allowing an attacker with access to these logs (e.g., through compromised systems, internal threats, or misconfigured log storage) to harvest tokens and impersonate users or escalate privileges.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
