Previous releases of the Puppet cisco_ios module output SSH session debug information including login credentials to a world readable file on every run. These issues have been resolved in the 0.4.0 release.

Weakness

The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval.
