Similarly, I found that Azure Functions were saving secrets in plaintext in the SCM blade even though the Function App itself was using Key Vault References! I throughly documented the issue, reproduced it with fresh infra, filed a bug bounty, etc. Only to have Microsoft say “It’s the intended behavior” and “That’s not applicable for a bug bounty”, etc. Next month I checked the SCM area again…yeah, plaintext secrets were miraculously redacted. That’s the last time I hunt bugs for you MS!
