> The server/src/com/cloud/network/element/CloudZonesNetworkElement.java and 
> server/src/com/cloud/network/router/VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.java 
> files use the PasswordGenerator.rot13() method. This method is using a cipher 
> which provides no effective encryption or obfuscation.
> Mitigation:
> Remove the PasswordGenerator.rot13() method so that it is never used in the 
> future. Change the usages to use AES-based encryption (possibly with 
> DBEncryptionUtil.encrypt()).
