Description Kurt Seifried 2015-11-18 04:07:14 UTC

It is reported that CloudForms fails to protect potentially sensitive data 
stored in the backend PostgreSQL database. This is due to encrypted data being decrypted and then stashed in data structures which may be inadvertently exposed (e.g. through database log files).
