Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The "Hawtio" console in JBoss Fuse 6.1.0 exposes the users password, Can it be avoided ?
  • The "Hawtio" console make the password of currently logged user visible when checking container urls.
  • Following is the step to reproduce the issue:
    • Install a fresh "jboss-fuse-full-6.1.0.redhat-379.zip"
    • Start the Fuse and then create fabric as following:
    JBossFuse:karaf@root> fabric:create
    Waiting for container: root
    Using specified zookeeper password:admin
    It may take a couple of seconds for the container to provision...
    You can use the --wait-for-provisioning option, if you want this command to block until the container is provisioned.
    git clone -b 1.0 http://admin:admin@aaa.com:8181/git/fabric
