…pod events PR containerd#12491 fixed credential leaks in containerd logs but the gRPC error returned to kubelet still contained sensitive information. This was visible in Kubernetes pod events via `kubectl describe pod`. The issue was that SanitizeError was called inside the defer block, but errgrpc.ToGRPC(err) was evaluated before the defer ran, so the gRPC message contained the original unsanitized error. Move SanitizeError before the return statement so both the logged error and the gRPC error are sanitized. Ref: containerd#5453 Signed-off-by: Aadhar Agarwal <[email protected]>
