Sorry, it was on random site build by CakePHP.

To Euromark, i found more than 100 website affected with this problem
and i don't have much time to email them all.

I think, whether it debug > 0, Cakephp should'nt throw real password
into CONTEXT.

I try searching another CMS and Framework. Using same method, i found
nothing of them show real password where database error connection
occured.

Yes, this is security issued for me. Which there are many developer
using CakePHP.


To Larry, i can send you some message to show how much it's affected. It
can be consideration.


Thanks
