Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
If successful login attempts are recorded, the raw tokens are stored in the log table.
If a malicious person somehow views the data in the log table, he or she can obtain a raw token, which can then be used to send a request with that user's authority.
When you (1) **use the following authentiactors**,
- [AccessTokens](https://codeigniter4.github.io/shield/references/authentication/tokens/) (`tokens`)
- [JWT](https://codeigniter4.github.io/shield/addons/jwt/) (`jwt`)
- [HmacSha256](https://codeigniter4.github.io/shield/references/authentication/hmac/) (`hmac`)
and you (2) **log successful login attempts**, the raw tokens are stored.
### Patches
Upgrade to Shield v1.0.0-beta.8 or later.
### Workarounds
Disable logging for successful login attempts by the configuration files.
- AccessTokens or HmacSha256
- Set `Config\AuthToken::$recordLoginAttempt` to `Auth::RECORD_LOGIN_ATTEMPT_FAILURE` or `Auth::RECORD_LOGIN_ATTEMPT_NONE`
- JWT
- Set `Config\AuthJWT::$recordLoginAttempt` to `Auth::RECORD_LOGIN_ATTEMPT_FAILURE` or `Auth::RECORD_LOGIN_ATTEMPT_NONE`
