bug#13124: 24.1; shell-mode does not hide sudo password prompts

bug#13124: 24.1; shell-mode does not hide sudo password prompts

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Dear Emacs Hackers,

I like shell-mode a lot and it mostly just works.

But I tend to use sudo quite a bit, and when I am promptd for my
password, shell-mode echoes it verbatim to the buffer instead of hiding
it as start or similar.

eshell on the other hand gets this right (but does some other magic in
the background).

So would it be possible to make shell-mode also hide passwords by default
(so I can simply tell other people that they can use it)?

eshell switches to the minibuffer on password-entry (but seems to use
tramp for that), but anyway to hide the password would be nice (ideally
a way which works with all programs which hide the password in bash).

Best wishes,
Arne

It's supposed to be hidden, and it is for me in `emacs -Q -f shell' in 24.1.
Please tell us exactly what your sudo prompt looks like.
Mine is:

Mine looks like this:

(using emacs -Q -f shell)

I'm afraid Emacs does not not understand the word "password" in every
language out-of-the-box, so you'll have to add an entry to
comint-password-prompt-regexp that matches "Passwort". Eg

(setq comint-password-prompt-regexp
  (concat
   "\\(^ *\\|"
   (regexp-opt
    '("Enter" "enter" "Enter same" "enter same" "Enter the" "enter the"
      "Old" "old" "New" "new" "'s" "login"
      "Kerberos" "CVS" "UNIX" " SMB" "LDAP" "[sudo]" "Repeat" "Bad") t)
   " +\\)"
   (regexp-opt
    '("password" "Password" "passphrase" "Passphrase"
      "pass phrase" "Pass phrase" "Response" "Passwort"))
   "\\(?:\\(?:, try\\)? *again\\| (empty for no passphrase)\\|
  (again)\\)?\
\\(?: for [^:]+\\)?:\\s *\\'"))

Ah, ok.

Would it be possible to add the values for all languages, depending on the 
LC_ALL or LANG-environment variable?

The sudo source should already provide that… 
…
It uses either the prompt from its own po-files¹, or if that is not defined 
the default PAM prompt².

I installed emacs for a collegue and the visible password is the major reason 
why he switches to the quite inconvenient term/ansi-term mode instead of 
shell.

So I think it is very relevant: It’s a matter of good defaults to never show 
the Password your user types. Especially not (quasi-)root passwords.

Arne

It seems to be difficult to setup
comint-password-prompt-regexp for all variations of prompts
for password.  How about using this kind of code (incomplete)?

(defun shell-enter-password ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((inhibit-field-text-motion t)
	 (prompt (buffer-substring (line-beginning-position) (point))))
    (if (and (not (string-match comint-password-prompt-regexp prompt))
	     (y-or-n-p (format "Remember \"%s\" as a password prompt for the future session? " prompt)))
	;; Insert a proper code to add PROMPT to comint-password-prompt-regexp
	;; and save it in .emacs.
	nil)
    (send-invisible prompt)))

(define-key shell-mode-map "\C-cp" 'shell-enter-password)

One can type C-c p when the shell buffer displays a prompt
for password without letting user enter a password in the
minibuffer.

That does not feel perfect, but it is better than the current situation, I 
think. I would prefer the shell to recognice the language setting and use that 
to select additional password-request matching.

Arne

We could, yes.  But I don't want to maintain a list of "password" words,
so this should be fully or at least mostly automatic.
Does someone have a patch to do that?

How does one go about retrieving this information in a
platform-independent way?  In the absence of a plausible method, I think
we should just use that hardcoded list of "password" words, and move on.

We could use various ad-hoc hacks for the various known cases, as
a "best effort".

How is that different from having an ad-hoc list of "password" words,
other than being more difficult to implement?

Other packages could profit from a predefined list of "password" words
as well. Tramp comes to my mind ...

Anyone have objections to the following patch?  It introduces a new
option `password-word-equivalents' for this purpose.

You need to reset comint-password-prompt-regexp when this is changed.

It also tries things like "Enter 密码: " and "[sudo] 密码 for
user:". For a full proof solution, one would need to translate those as
well.

I wonder if it affects the speed of the output. The regexp is 800 chars
long, and it is used in comint-output-filter-functions, which are
executed on every single output chunk (roughly 500 chars).

May be match the language code (en, ru, zh etc) against the locale, and
keep only those password-word-equivalents that match.

For me this would fix the issue. I now applied something similar as
variable, but I would much prefer to see it be the default: That would
also solve the issue for a collegue of mine without me having to
explain him how the regexp works.

Regarding the need to translate other parts of the password prompt
(like "enter"), I think that those would be useful, but that the
current fix is already a huge improvement, so it should not be held
back by not being perfect right away.

Should the :version keyword of defcustom for
comint-password-prompt-regexp be set to 24.4, too?

Best wishes,
Arne

PS: I’m sorry that I only answer now. I lost track of the issue and
only now found it again when the bug finally disturbed me enough that
I decided to fix it myself (I have a local fix, but it is not as nice
as your fix). I now answered here again, because I saw no fix in the
current trunk.

Emacs is in feature freeze, the patch won't make it into 24.4. I'm still
in favor installing it into the trunk once it is reopened; in Tramp I'm
faced with similar problems. Tramp explains what to do in its info
pages, but there are still help requests, occasionally.

Some part of the patch should make it, since it's about fixing bug#13124.

Good news! I don't know what you mean with "some part of the patch", so
I'll wait until it arrives in the trunk. I'll apply corresponding Tramp
changes afterwards.

It won't happen magically.  IOW I'd appreciate if you could take care of it.
"Some part" means, a part that's seems safe enough to be "bug fix only".
I haven't actually looked at the proposed patch, so maybe it is good
enough as is.

I know that :-) It was just an attempt to move the ball somewhere else ...

Will do.

Finally, I have applied a slight modified version of Yidong's patch,
plus a Tramp patch.
