Bug#1069163: libkf5kmanagesieve5: sends password as username when authenticating against sieve servers



Package: libkf5kmanagesieve5
Version: 4:22.12.3-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security, patch, upstream

Dear Maintainer,

kmail, when using managesieve, sends the password as username to
servers. This is particularly bad because usernames are commonly logged
by servers in plaintext. It thus leaks passwords into server-side
plaintext logs e.g. with dovecot.

This seems to have been fixed upstream:
https://invent.kde.org/pim/libksieve/-/commit/
6b460ba93ac4ac503ba039d0b788ac7595120db1

Please consider a backport of that patch or updating the package 
quickly.

Thank you.
