HMAC is a deterministic cryptographic operation that can be performed locally and should not require disclosure of the secret key to a remote processor. The same API path is used for all text-processing functions. Consequently, text supplied for JSON, XML, HTML, SQL, encoding, hashing, regular-expression processing, and other transformations is also disclosed to the external service. Such text may contain credentials, source code, personal data, database content, or other confidential information. Transport uses HTTPS by default, which protects data in transit from ordinary network interception, but it does not protect the data from the external service, its application logs, infrastructure operators, backups, or a compromised endpoint. ...[truncated 1401 chars]- Remediation
