[openstack-dev] [cinder] CHAP secret is visible in cinder volume log

Hi,

I am wondering why screen-c-vol.log is displaying the CHAP secret.

Logs:

2015-04-16 16:04:23.288 7306 DEBUG oslo_concurrency.processutils
[req-23c699df-7b21-48d2-ba14-d8ed06642050 ce8dccba9ccf48fb956060b3e54187a2

returned:* 0 in 0.088s execute
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo_concurrency/processutils.py:225

Above log hides the secret.

2015-04-16 16:04:23.290 7306 DEBUG cinder.brick.initiator.connector
[req-23c699df-7b21-48d2-ba14-d8ed06642050 ce8dccba9ccf48fb956060b3e54187a2
4ad219788df049e0b131e17f603d5faa - - -] *iscsiadm ('--op', 'update', '-n',
'node.session.auth.password', '-v', u'fakeauthgroupchapsecret')*: stdout=
stderr= _run_iscsiadm
/opt/stack/cinder/cinder/brick/initiator/connector.py:455

However, this one does not hide the secret.

In addition, i find that the CHAP credentials are stored as plain string
the database table (volumes).

I guess these are security risks in the current implementation. Any
comments ?
