    Description

      As discovered when writing org.hawkular.cmdgw.ws.test.CommandGatewayITest.testExecuteOperation() test, the messages sent by a feed are delivered unredacted to the UI - i.e. containing 

      authentication:{"username":"jdoe","password":"password"}

      This is a clear security issue that could allow the UI to impersonate the feed.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
