Vertica is leaking UD session parameters "secret" and "password" in DC table

Hi,

Vertica is nicely hiding values of UD session parameters that contains "secret" and "password" in name, making them usable to pass sensitive info to UDx code.

For example, if you will check dc_requests_issued, value of parameter in ALTER SESSION ... will be masked. Same for sessions system view in "current_statement" column. Value of UD session parameter will be hidden in vertica.log.

Still, DC table dc_session_parameters is leaking value of UD session parameters "secret" and "password" in clear text. I can see all sensitive passwords in clear text. Bug observed in v 24.3.0-1.

Please inform security team about this issue.

Thank you
Sergey
