This error indicates that the encryption password for the MySQL audit log has not been set. It is a warning that the audit log is not secure and should be configured with an encryption password.

How It Affects Your App

MySQL 3207 ER_AUDIT_LOG_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD_HAS_NOT_BEEN_SET indicates that the audit log encryption password has not been set. This means that the audit log is not encrypted and is vulnerable to malicious actors. This can lead to data breaches and other security issues, as the audit log contains sensitive information.
