e19445a introduced marking attr_encrypted attributes as virtual attributes to avoid an ActiveRecord deprecation warning in AR 5.1. This had the side effect of exposing the decrypted versions of the attributes in `ActiveRecord::Base#attributes`. This is problematic since the method is leveraged for things like `#as_json` and `respond_with`, meaning a user could inadvertely expose sensitive info with an action like: ``` def show respond_with @user end ```

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I guess there is an inconsistency. #has_attribute? will return true for encrypted attributes as it relies on @attributes.
