   Generally XCOMs are not encrypted by FERNET key. Which means that if you are 
passing secrets through Xcoms, anyone who has access to DB or DB logs can know 
the secret. I'd say NOT masking secret is a feature. It tells you you should 
not pass secrets via Xoms - they are not designed to be used for that. Masking 
secrets in XCom might give you false sense of security that it is protected in 
some ways, where it - in fact - is not.
   
   Converting it to a discussion.
