Thanks for opening this bug. The file created in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections has the following permissions:

This isn't a security issue. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Network manager stores password in plaintext https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
