Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log

Quick fix

GHSA-j72f-h752-mx4w — codeigniter4/shield: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

composer require codeigniter4/shield:^1.0.0-beta.8

Details

### 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`
