Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

OpenMetadata openmetadata-service Maven package versions before 1.12.4 are affected. An authenticated SSO user with no admin role can run a TEST_CONNECTION workflow on a database service, and the HTTP response then exposes the cleartext database password and the ingestion-bot JWT. That token can be reused to act as the ingestion bot against the API with bot-level privileges. Upgrade to version 1.12.4, which contains the fix. The source notes the issue does not apply when credentials are stored in an external secrets store.
