Logging Cheat Sheet — Confidentiality

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Who should be able to read what? A confidentiality attack enables an unauthorized party to access sensitive information stored in logs. Logs contain PII of users. Attackers gather PII, then either release it or use it as a stepping stone for further attacks on those users. Logs contain technical secrets such as passwords. Attackers use it as a stepping stone for deeper attacks. Attribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
