Bug ID: 441948
Summary: password should be percent-encoded and never sent to
log
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.21.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_printer_manager
Assignee: dantt...@gmail.com
Reporter: k...@equaeghe.nospammail.net
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When setting up a network printer that requires authentication using a password
with reserved characters, the printer is not created. Creating the printer with
a dummy password and then later editing /etc/cups/printers.conf by hand to
replace the dummy with the percent-encoded real password does work.
Clearly, the password should be percent-encoded before creating the full url
for cups. (N.B.: the login is percent-encoded as appropriate.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure to use a password with reserved characters
2. Configure network printer (e.g., smb) that requires authentication
3. Setup network printer and add login and password in boxes provided
OBSERVED RESULT
* New printer not created
* Error in log indicating that printer url is malformed (password is in
cleartext in the log!!!)
EXPECTED RESULT
* Password is percent-encoded
* Password is never ever sent to the system's log
