### Overview
Versions before and including `2.27.0` use a block list of specific keys that should be sanitized from the request object contained in the error object. When a request to Auth0 management API fails, the key for `Authorization` header is not sanitized and the `Authorization` header value can be logged exposing a bearer token.

- You are using `auth0` npm package
- You are using a Machine to Machine application authorized to use Auth0's management API https://auth0.com/docs/flows/concepts/client-credentials
### How to fix that?

### Will this update impact my users?
