Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The ethyca-fides package versions before 2.37.0 are affected. When the password for the hosted PostgreSQL database contains special characters such as @ or $, webserver startup fails and part of the password after the special character is written to the webserver error logs. An attacker who can read those logs can recover part of the database password. Upgrade to ethyca-fides 2.37.0 or later. No workarounds are listed.
