Security Issue?

[backstr]

Hi,

I am having trouble getting ReadyNAS remote to login (flashing icon in the menu bar) so I took a look at the console log (OS X 10.8) and noticed the following:

9/20/12 11:13:31.589 AM ReadyNAS Remote[12179]: NetworkManager: login:<user> password:<password>
9/20/12 11:13:31.589 AM ReadyNAS Remote[12179]: IsLoggedIn: NO

Only <user> was my actual user name and <password> was my actual (ready nas) password, all in plain text.

Not a big issue for me personally, but seems to be a rather severe security hole. Is this new? This was ReadyNAS 1.0.34.

Regards,
Bill

Yikes. Clear text passwords saving in a global system log that other system users could view...

I'm informed that this issue has been fixed. So we can expect this fix to be included in the next update to the Mac OS X client.
