Hi,

When adding a bookmark, you need to give a name and an url.
Both are already filled in with the current path of the loaction toolbar
but the password is striped in the bookmark name and url.
It's possible to add again the password in the bookmark url and save
the bookmark.
The password is saved in clear text in
$/username/.kde/share/apps/krusader/krbookmarks.xml

Krusader-1.70.1 contains a fix that this password is stiped out the
bookmark url, so that the password is not saved in cleartext in krbookmarks.xml

When you use "Keep password", Kwallet is used to store the password safely.
When you don't use Kwallet, you need to enter the password again when
you have closed the Krusader session.

kind regards,

I tested this with sarge's krusader and can't reproduce this exploit.
Although the file krbookmarks.xml is created group- and world-readable
(that can and should be easily fixed), the
directory it is in is not.  For the path
/home/alec/.kde/share/apps/krusader/krbookmarks.xml, none of .kde,
share, apps, or krusader is group- or world-readable (or
writable/executable).  The user would have to manually change the
permissions on those directories for this to be exploitable.

Additionally, I found it difficult to even save the password to the
bookmarks file.  When I typed in a URL with password into the right-hand
pane and pressed enter, the password was stripped out of the URL after
it was used.  I could not use the bookmark button to make a new bookmark
before the URL had been stripped; it would only allow me to bookmark the
current directory.  I could make Krusader write the password to the
bookmarks file, but only after manually editing it using the bookmark
manager to include the password.
