## Technical details

This is an information disclosure vulnerability in the redaction engine of HCL DevOps Deploy/Launch. When a deployment is configured with a secure (redacted) property that begins with certain non-ASCII characters, the redaction mechanism fails to mask subsequent ASCII-based secure values that are embedded within insecure properties. This allows an attacker with access to deployment configurations or logs to recover sensitive plaintext values that should have been redacted. The vulnerability requires access to view deployment configurations; there is no network or authentication bypass component. A patch is available from HCL Software.
