Hi, Yeh, cli scripts are save enough. I mean while the command is running any user on the system it is running on can see the arguments (and a user could automatically scrape these), so the new password could be leaked to users on the host system. Security on the web side shouldn't be an issue as done directly with mahara codebase.
So yeh, save enough. Cheers, Hugh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

One of the cli service provides a way for admin to change user's password, which is very convenient to do it quickly for one user or for many users, with some unix programming. I would like to suggest you to adding such a cli service into the admin/cli folder for Mahara.
