This is every CI system on the planet

  echo ${PASSWORD} > file; cat file

And your password is now in the log file unmasked.

No, it masks the output stream by searching for all secrets and censoring them.

how does it know what are secrets? what if I base64 the password before printing it?

Thats what was said, it cannot detect that. If you rot13 it, you bypassed the protection.
