RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The following text is from the reporting user:
~~~
Vulnerability Scanner has identified Vulnerability titled:AutoComplete Attribute Not Disabled for Password in Form Based Authentication in Pacemaker PCSD. Detected on 2224 port which is pcsd port.
As per scanner recommendation "Contact the vendor to have the AutoComplete attribute disabled for the password field in all forms. The AutoComplete attribute should also be disabled for the user ID field.
Developers can add the following attribute to the form or input element: autocomplete="off"
This attribute prevents the browser from prompting the user to save the populated form values for later reuse.
Most browsers no longer honor autocomplete="off" for password input fields. These browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, IE, Opera
However, there is still an ability to turn off autocomplete through the browser and that is recommended for a shared computing environment.
"Since the ability to turn autocomplete off for password inputs fields is controlled by the user it is highly recommended for application to enforce strong password rules.
~~~
More detail about the attribute here:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/autocomplete
The practical risk that's present here seems very low. Nonetheless, this seems like a straightforward change if we decide to make it.
The reporter opened a case against RHEL 7.9. I'm opening this BZ against RHEL 8. We can clone if desired.

Really looks like security hardening to me, and that too borderline. So this is not a security flaw, hence no CVE
