leaky

This term describes a failure of containment, whether the substance escaping is a physical fluid or intangible information. It carries a connotation of negligence or decay, suggesting that a boundary which should be secure has become porous or compromised.

When applied to secrets or organizations, the word implies a lack of discipline or a betrayal of trust. It transforms a physical property of plumbing or vessels into a social critique of instability and indiscretion.
