The challenge here is that you want the “type” of the input to be set to password for these fields so the browser will replace the contents with *****.
What would you rename in this case? Is it the label for the input, the id of the input itself? For the login and ssh password fields the ids don’t match and neither do the label fields (login page doesn’t have a label at all). With respect to the service profile this is also resolved in 12.0 where username and password are no longer in the service profile. I brought this issue up with PSIRT today and the general consensus is that we are trying to do the right thing by specifying autocomplete=off on these fields. The fact that the browser ignores this for password input fields is a problem, but we need more inputs from the DEs on how or if we can prevent this. We are going to look into back-porting the fix from 12.0 into older releases. -Ryan On Mar 16, 2018, at 2:10 PM, Anthony Holloway <avholloway+cisco-v...@gmail.com<mailto:avholloway+cisco-v...@gmail.com>> wrote: "...I think they need to rename some of these fields so that password autofill doesn't happen." Exactly! If you're going to build a web app, you have to understand how the browser works. Granted, the browser should be a little more intelligent about what it thinks is a login form, but the web developers should know how that process works, and how to avoid having the browser mistake their fields for login forms.

I see so many customers with their admin accounts filled in here from autofill on their browsers. These are sent clear-text to Jabber clients. I think I talked to some Cisco folks on this and it didn't get anywhere since it was more a browser issue. I think they need to rename some of these fields so that password autofill doesn't happen.

So, I was looking at phone config file today, and I noticed the ccmadmin username and password was in the XML, and in plain text nonetheless. I found out that the browser, when told to remember your credentials, will treat the SSH username/password fields as login fields whenever you modify a phone, and you might be unknowingly save your credentials for clear text view by unauthenticated users. Is anyone already aware of this? You could you run the following command on your clusters: run sql select name, sshuserid from device where sshuserid is not null and sshuserid <> "" Then in the output, if there are any hits, look at the config XML file for the phone and see if the passwords are there. E.g., output might be: SEP6899CD84B710 aholloway So then you would navigate your browser to: http://<tftpserver>:6970/SEP6899CD84B710.cnf.xml You then might have to view the HTML source of the page, because the browser might mess up the output. You're then looking for the following two fields, your results will vary: <sshUserId>aholloway</sshUserId> <sshPassword>MyP@ssw0rd</sshPassword> Then, since we now know it's happening, get list of how many different usernames you have with this command: run sql select distinct sshuserid from device where sshuserid is not null and sshuserid <> "" order by sshuserid This could also be happening with Energy Wise settings, albeit not on the same web pages. I'm curious about two things: 1) Is it even happening outside of my limited testing scenarios? 2) How many different usernames and passwords were there? If the answers are yes, and 1 or more, then this is an issue Cisco should address. The reason it's happening is because the way in which browsers identify login forms, is different from the way in which web developers understand it to work. Cisco uses the element attribute on these fields "autocomplete = false" and unfortunately, most browser ignore that directive. I have noticed that this does not happen, if you have more than 1 saved password for the same site, rather it will only happen if you use the same login for the entire site. Our highest chance of seeing this happen are for operations teams where they login with their own accounts, and do not use DRS or OS Admin. _______________________________________________ cisco-voip mailing list cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net> https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip _______________________________________________ cisco-voip mailing list cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net> https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip
