Plain Text rsync Password Files

`rsync` can read daemon-mode passwords from local password files and secrets files. Automic Vault currently detects this exposure but does not yet provide a migration or package modification for rsync.

Local README excerpt

rsync Radioisotope Detector

This detector reports plaintext rsync password files. It does not currently migrate credentials or modify rsync.

SSH-backed rsync usage is outside this detector and belongs to the OpenSSH credential boundary.

Caveats

  • We detect common user password-file names.
  • We detect secrets file references in user rsync config files.
  • SSH key and ssh-agent state are handled separately by the OpenSSH detector.
