Description Borja Tarraso 2019-12-12 01:01:26 UTC

While a Tower backup is running, files in '/var/backup/tower' are left world-readable. These files include both the SECRET_KEY and the database backup, any user with access to the Tower server, and knowledge of when a backup is run, could retrieve every credential stored in Tower.
