The ACM must-gather tool collects certain ACM "wrapper" Custom Resources that embed Secret data (credentials, tokens) without applying redaction. When an administrator runs must-gather for troubleshooting, these secrets are captured in cleartext in the must-gather archive. Archives are routinely uploaded to support cases, exposing credentials to anyone with access to the archive.
