Impact
Secrets that would normally be masked by semantic-release can be accidentally disclosed if they contain characters that become encoded when included in a URL.
Patches
Fixed in v17.2.3
Workarounds
Secrets that do not contain characters that become encoded when included in a URL are already masked properly.
