Thanks, taking the revised view of this vulnerability into account, here's a rewritten impact statement for use in the CVE request and subsequent security advisory publication (note that the fix to master was included in 14.4.0, its stable branch backports have not merged yet as of the time of writing):

title: Authentication tokens included in notification messages

reporters:
  - name: Scott Solkhon

    reported: 'CVE-TBD'

description: >
  Scott Solkhon with G-Research reported a vulnerability in
  oslo.messaging's notifier. Some service notifications may include
  context with embedded authentication tokens, which become
  serialized within the message revealing those credentials to
  systems administrators who have access to copies of notifications,
  potentially allowing them to impersonate the affected accounts.
  Only deployments with notifications enabled using the AMQP or
  Kafka drivers are affected.
