Subject: akregator exposes password of password protected blogs
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:04:33 +0100

Package: akregator
Version: 4:3.5.9-5
Severity: important

I subscribed to a password protected blog using a feed URL like this
one:

http://user:password@passwordprotected-blog.example.com/blog/index.rss



Under $HOME/.kde/share/apps/akregator/Archive/ akregator creates a
file, the name containing not only the feed URL but also the username
and password


This may expose passwords to other users of the box.
