Hello Kubernetes Community, A security issue was discovered in secrets-store-sync-controller where an actor with access to the controller logs could observe service account tokens. These tokens could then potentially be exchanged with external cloud providers to access secrets stored in cloud vault solutions. Tokens are only logged when there is a specific error marshaling the `parameters` sent to the providers. ### Am I vulnerable?
