Issue/Introduction

While running a Web Agent and this one reports in the logs the SMSESSION value "SMSESSION=data_supressed"  but on the same transaction, on

auto-authorize URL, the SMSESSION is visible in the logs.

Reason to know why ?

We refer to this given fix in 12.52SP1CR09 :

Is that a vulnerability ?
