ikiwiki -- cleartext passwords

Description:

The ikiwiki development team reports:

Until version 2.48, ikiwiki stored passwords in cleartext in the userdb. That risks exposing all users' passwords if the file is somehow exposed. To pre-emtively guard against that, current versions of ikiwiki store password hashes (using Eksblowfish).
