[jira] Created: (WSS-253) UsernameTokenProcessor logs the password to the log

UsernameTokenProcessor logs the password to the log
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WSS-253
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-253
             Project: WSS4J
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.5.9
         Environment: Any OS
            Reporter: Alexandru Luchian
            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh


The UsernameTokenProcessor class logs the username and password to the log file.

org.apache.ws.security.processor.UsernameTokenProcessor file from TRUNK:

public WSUsernameTokenPrincipal handleUsernameToken(Element token, CallbackHandler cb)
88 	throws WSSecurityException {
89 	if (cb == null) {
90 	throw new WSSecurityException(WSSecurityException.FAILURE, "noCallback");
91 	}
92 	//
93 	// Parse the UsernameToken element
94 	//
95 	ut = new UsernameToken(token, allowNamespaceQualifiedPasswordTypes);
96 	ut.setPasswordsAreEncoded(passwordsAreEncoded);
97 	String user = ut.getName();
98 	String password = ut.getPassword();
99 	String nonce = ut.getNonce();
100 	String createdTime = ut.getCreated();
101 	String pwType = ut.getPasswordType();
102 	if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
103 	log.debug("UsernameToken user " + user);
104 	log.debug("UsernameToken password " + password);
105 	} 

I think from a security stand point it is wrong to log the password.
In production environments for instance I want to log the username, but can't do that without logging the password as well.
I say either remove the password from logging or add a 
log.info("UsernameToken user " + user); -> At INFO level

Thanks.

    Fix Version/s: 1.6

I'll just replace logging the password, with logging the password type.

You can see that line 104 logs the password:
104 log.debug("UsernameToken password " + password);
