Description Dylan Murray 2018-04-09 17:36:30 UTC
Description of problem:
When declaring APB parameters such as a password, the user expects that noone else will be able to see this password. What happens though is that the broker passes the list of parameters as arguments to the APB container image that is run in the transient namespace.

When declaring passwords, these parameters still show up in the pod definition and in the pod logs in plaintext.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.9.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an APB with a password as an input parameter
2. Deploy APB and read the logs of the APB in the transient namespace

Actual results:
Observe inputted password in plaintext.

Expected results:
Password is either hidden or obfuscated.

Additional info:

This is considered security risk by enterprises. Even a cluster admin should not see these passwords.

Comment 3 Zihan Tang 2018-04-26 05:30:44 UTC
Using image postgresql-apb v3.10.0-0.16.0.1 , the password in sandbox namespace is still in plain text .

wait for the image ready and change it to modified .
