Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-766:
-----------------------------------------
I was too quick with my comment, but MRELEASE-846 contains a part of the
solution. I should be able to encrypt all passwords/passphrases in the
settings.xml.
> release:prepare stores settings.xml in a public directory

> Key: MRELEASE-766
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-766
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: prepare
> Affects Versions: 2.2.2
> Reporter: Joseph Walton
>
> The fix for MRELEASE-577 involves copying {{settings.xml}} into a temporary
> directory. On a shared machine, it's possible that users have passwords
> configured in this file. Although they should probably have used
> {{settings-security.xml}} some will have set file permissions to prevent
> other users from reading their settings.
> If a build fails the file can be behind in /tmp.
> The copy should either be set to world-unreadable before any contents are
> written or created in a non-public location.
