An issue was discovered in MariaDB MaxScale before 23.02.3.

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.32%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue was discovered in MariaDB MaxScale before 23.02.3. A user enters an encrypted password on a "maxctrl create service" command line, but this password is then stored in cleartext in the resulting .cnf file under /var/lib/maxscale/maxscale.cnf.d. The fixed versions are 2.5.28, 6.4.9, 22.08.8, and 23.02.3.
