+
+<p>If sensitive data is written to a log entry it is exposed. Sensitive data should not be exposed.</p>
+
+<p>Potential attackers can obtain sensitive user data when the log output is displayed. Additionally that data may
+expose system information such as full path names, system information, and sometimes usernames and passwords.</p>
+</overview>
+
+<recommendation>
+<p>
+Sensitive data should not be logged.

+</recommendation>
+
+<example>
+<p>In the example the entire process environment is logged using `console.info`. Regular users of the production deployed application
+should not have access to this much information about the environment configuration.
+</p>
