    This isn't necessarily a MDI topic, but here are a few recommendations I'd look into:
    1.) Run the Splunk UF and associated account in low priv mode. Don't let your security monitoring/logging infra be leveraged against you.

    2.) Configure your inputs.conf and mask that, e.g. 

    sedcmd-pwdmask = s/(ms\-Mcs\-AdmPwd\=).+/##########/g
    https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.4/Data/Anonymizedata
    3.) Go back and remove all those entries from splunk or rotate laps pws.
