description: |-
    Exposing annotations as metrics can leak secrets.

    An experimental feature of kube-state-metrics enables annotations to be exposed
    as metrics. By default, metrics only expose metadata about secrets. However, a
    combination of the default kubectl behavior and this new feature can cause the
    entire secret content to end up in metric labels.
