How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest libvirt to version 1.2.9-4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt package and not the libvirt package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

The virDomainGetXMLDesc API in Libvirt before 1.2.11 allows remote read-only users to obtain the VNC password by using the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, which triggers the use of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag.
