Issue

When a secret value submitted through the ONTAP REST API contains a comma ({},{}) or closing brace ({{}}}), the audit log may mask only part of the value and record the remainder in cleartext. This can expose sensitive information in audit logs when HTTP audit logging is enabled.
For example, a value such as filler-not-the-target,missspart-2 may be logged with only the portion before the comma masked.
