<description>
|
|
<p>A history file in ~/.kedpm/history is written in clear text. All of the
|
|
commands performed in the password manager are written there. This can
|
|
lead to the disclosure of the master password if the “password”
|
|
command is used with an argument. The names of the password entries
|
|
created and consulted are also accessible in clear text.
