 Description   

SHA1 is known as unsecure/weak.
There should be a secure hashing alternative.

PCI Certified Enterprises can expect problems with auditing.

MariaDB SHA1 authentication is still secure. The shattered.it attack only allows someone to generate two passwords with the same SHA1 hash, it does not help to generate a password with a given SHA1 hash.

Anyway, we have a SHA1 alternative, it was implemented in MDEV-12160
