--------------------------------------
Summary: Password in clear in SSHD server's logs
Key: SSHD-1315
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-1315
Project: MINA SSHD
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.8.0
Reporter: Roberto Deandrea
Hi Thomas,
I noticed that setting SLF4J log level {*}org.apache.sshd.*=finest{*}, the
password of an SSH client authenticating to SSHD server is logged on SSHD
server in "clear".
This could result in a privacy/security issues at companies with strict
security rules.
Evidence of this behavior is in the following trace :

Questions.
1. What do you think about this issue ?
2. Did you ever think about obfuscating in some ways "clear passwords" in logs?
3. Other considerations ?
Than you for your collaboration.
Kind Regards
Roberto Deandrea
