What it is

A static credential embedded in Chef 360 prior to v1.7.0 permitted unauthenticated access to internal message queues. Queue messages contained tenant-specific identifiers. The credential has been rotated and replaced with per-tenant access in subsequent versions, eliminating this access method entirely.
