+1 to this being a serious bug. As a large user, if we used internal passwords, this would completely prevent me from using Cassandra native audit log capabilities. Disabling DCL is not a great option, as DCL is probably the most needed auditable event. If this is on by default (not sure of

I think it can be argued that this is a pretty serious bug for a newly introduced feature, and qualifies for inclusion in an RC, but I don’t personally have a strong opinion on if this should happen. I can’t imagine how this would be an _exception_ for inclusion in 4.0.1 though. From: Mick

Obfuscation of passwords in audit loging, in or not in 4.0?

Hi list, During our evaluation of 4.0 internally, we noticed that there are passwords in the plaintext in audit logging (and in fql). While I was going through CASSANDRA-12151, I noticed that the password obfuscation in these components was planned but it was never implemented and it was merged

Hello, In order to more safely expedite 4.0's first release, I would like to propose minimizing the surface area for regressions by creating a 4.0.0 branch, as we have done in the past for initial releases. Only critical bugfixes would go in this branch, essentially removing it from the merge
