-----------------------------------------
[~yasker] will backport the fix to 4.3 and 4.4 break anything?
> ROT13 usage

> Key: CLOUDSTACK-5241
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-5241
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0
> Reporter: John Kinsella
> Assignee: Sheng Yang
> Labels: security
> Fix For: 4.5.0
>
>
> The server/src/com/cloud/network/element/CloudZonesNetworkElement.java and
> server/src/com/cloud/network/router/VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.java
> files use the PasswordGenerator.rot13() method. This method is using a cipher
> which provides no effective encryption or obfuscation.
> Mitigation:
> Remove the PasswordGenerator.rot13() method so that it is never used in the
> future. Change the usages to use AES-based encryption (possibly with
> DBEncryptionUtil.encrypt()).
