Subject: Storing sensitive data indefinitely in variables or buffers: Whether and how to fix?
Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 23:25:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bf0942aa-fd27-bec4-13cd-ec115a622b97@vodafonemail.de> (raw)
This is related to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2023-05/msg00327.html
and bug#63627 I've opened to track progress.
plstore.el stores clear-text sensitive data in a number of places in a
running emacs without automatically expiring it as, for example,
password-cache does.
1. As usually, fixing these decreases convenience. Is that OK?
2. Is fixing these considered a bug (relevant for emacs-29) even if it
involves a bit more effort, possibly even new functions and
variables?
Thanks.
