Package: nut-monitor
Version: 2.7.2-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #777706

I have bumped the severity to critical, as this introduces a security
hole on the system. The password is stored world-readable by default
and only mildly obfuscated (base64, not crypted as I had assumed,
though even if it had been crypted, it's not strong enough to
withstand a brute force attack). Once I have your nut password, I can
issue a device command 'load.off' to turn off all devices connected to
the UPS, causing a denial of service.
