Describe the bug
Using Outpost with traditional "Proxy" mode in Authentik (meaning, not the Forward Auth mode) has a critical undesired side effect that is logging all GET parameters including the token, user details and such.
This seems to be happening at the latest version 2026.5.3 as well.

Please do observe that I have configured the OUTPOST with log_level: warning and it still shows up altogether.
