[jira] [Created] (GEODE-3452) gfsh does not redact passwords from history until the session is closed

Patrick Rhomberg created GEODE-3452:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: gfsh does not redact passwords from history until the session is closed
                 Key: GEODE-3452
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3452
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: gfsh, logging, security
            Reporter: Patrick Rhomberg


The `ArgumentRedactor` does not act on `gfsh` history until it is written to file when the `gfsh` session is closed.  As a result, non-redacted passwords may be exposed in the `history` command as well as the Ctrl-R reverse-i-search until the session is closed.

Because the redactor's behavior is simple, you can reproduce this with a simple `echo` command.

{noformat}
gfsh> echo "example case --exposed-option=123 --password=456"
example case --exposed-option 123 --password=456

gfsh> history
[...]
491  490: echo "example case --exposed-option=123 --password=456"
492  491: history

gfsh> exit
Exiting...

[Restart gfsh]

gfsh> history
480  479: echo "example case --exposed-option=123 --password=*****
481  480: history
482  481: exit
483  482: history
{noformat}
