Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

sanitize replaces all values with sequentially numbered tokens like <v1337>. When by coincidence in two different appmaps the same token is masking a secret in one and a log output in another, when using the golden traces skill I've seen the scanner erronously flag this as secret-in-log issue even though the tokens correspond to different strings.
