Impact
In ghinstallation v1, when the request to refresh an installation token failed, the HTTP request and response would be returned for debugging.
https://github.com/bradleyfalzon/ghinstallation/blob/24e56b3fb7669f209134a01eff731d7e2ef72a5c/transport.go#L172-L174
The request contained the bearer JWT for the App, and was returned back to clients. This token is short lived (10 minute maximum).
