⚠️ tyk-configuration-reference/kv-store.mdx:199 - The documentation correctly identifies that unresolved secret references in API definitions can lead to information disclosure by leaking reference strings (e.g.,kv://my-store/db/password). However, the current warning may not sufficiently emphasize the risk of this 'fail-open' behavior. A simple typo in a secret's path could cause sensitive internal details (store names, secret paths) to be exposed to upstream services or clients.

security Issue
The documentation correctly identifies that unresolved secret references in API definitions can lead to information disclosure by leaking reference strings (e.g., `kv://my-store/db/password`). However, the current warning may not sufficiently emphasize the risk of this 'fail-open' behavior. A simple typo in a secret's path could cause sensitive internal details (store names, secret paths) to be exposed to upstream services or clients.
Raw output
Strengthen the warning and provide more explicit operational guidance for mitigation. Consider rephrasing the warning to be more direct about the security impact and add a recommendation to always check component logs for resolution errors after deploying changes involving secrets. For example: 'Security Critical: An unresolved secret reference will cause the literal reference string (e.g., `kv://my-store/db/password`) to be used as the value. This can leak your internal secret infrastructure details to clients or upstreams. After any change, you must inspect Tyk Gateway logs for secret resolution errors to prevent this.'
