Official description
SAP Cloud SDK for AI (Node.js) could inadvertently include sensitive authentication credentials in error messages generated by certain internal operations under specific failure conditions. An attacker with low privileges and access to application logs or forwarded error output could obtain these credentials, but only after waiting for a suitable failure event triggered by a higher-privileged user and within the limited lifetime of the token, making exploitation complex. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to reuse the disclosed credentials against the associated SAP service, resulting in a high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability.

The underlying weakness: Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information
The product generates an error message that includes sensitive information about its environment, users, or associated data.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Handle exceptions internally and do not display errors containing potentially sensitive information to a user.
- Use naming conventions and strong types to make it easier to spot when sensitive data is being used. When creating structures, objects, or other complex entities, separate the sensitive and non-sensitive data as much as possible.
- Debugging information should not make its way into a production release.
