Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in dynamic-node-parameters endpoints when handling requests with a supplied credential reference.

The issue affects nodes that resolve credentials dynamically through these endpoints.
