Subject: bug#30186: 27.0.50; Password is not hidden in read-passwd
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2018 23:29:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871sikmd6o.fsf@mail.linkov.net> (raw)
This is a regression and a security flaw.
Reading a password with ‘read-passwd’ doesn't hide inserted characters
anymore as it used to do in older versions.
When the user has such customization:
(custom-set-variables
'(yank-excluded-properties t))
evaluating
(read-passwd "Prompt: ")
and yanking a password to the minibuffer with 'C-y' doesn't hide it
as it did in Emacs 25.
This can be traced down to ‘remove-yank-excluded-properties’
where ‘set-text-properties’ used to leave ‘display’ properties
(with ‘.’ over inserted characters) in the minibuffer.
