Public bug reported: I just installed new Nvidia drivers in a meeting room and, as I have Secure Boot enabled, was prompted for the password to enter on next reboot. Surprisingly, the password I entered (twice) was in clear text both times I entered it, which gives others around me an opportunity to read what this password is.
This isn't an issue with DKMS/Secure Boot per se, except that people are likely to use a password that they already use elsewhere (as it is something you need to remember) and shoulder surfers could potentially use that password to attack the user in other places.
