![]() ![]() If you never enabled FileVault on a computer prior to upgrading to Lion or purchased a computer with Lion installed, you are not at risk. But many (perhaps most) Lion users won’t be affected. There’s no simple solution for this problem that doesn’t involve a bit of fuss, even after Apple releases a patch to prevent the password from being logged as clear text. ![]() It’s also baffling that any debugging would reveal a password because of the risk of the logging code being left included by accident, as occurred here.Īpple did not respond to inquries regarding this issue. Developers often put in messages that are sent to a log file for such purposes, but should be flagging those in code for review before release, and the quality assurance (QA) process companies follow in sending out updates to any software should catch debugging messages that are unintentionally left on. This was clearly an error in code review, as the message in the file says “DEBUGLOG” in all caps.
