             Summary: PicketBox Logger logging does not mask credentials when logging LDAP connection environment
                 Key: SECURITY-753
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SECURITY-753
             Project: PicketBox 
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: JBossSX
    Affects Versions: PicketBox_4_0_20.Beta1
            Reporter: Stefan Guilhen
            Assignee: Stefan Guilhen
             Fix For: PicketBox_4_0_20.Beta2


It was reported that the PicketBoxLogger interface logs the client credentials when TRACE level is set. Although we do not consider this a security flaw in itself, we do recommend that this be considered as a candidate for a security-in-depth fix. 

At the very least, the default implementation should mask the authenticating user's credentials. The bindCredential value is already available in the configuration, however this too can be considered an issue if the configuration files use encrypted passwords.
