Unauthorized access to logs may expose valuable information about the system's configuration, operations, and security mechanisms. This could jeopardize system availability through the exposure of vulnerabilities and support the planning of attacks on the service, system, or network. If logs are not adequately sanitized, this may also directly impact the confidentiality of sensitive data.
