Overview

kajam is a lightweight content management system for middle and small teams. Affected versions of this gem expose the MySQL or PostgreSQL password in the process list, due to a flaw in /dataset/lib/dataset/database/postgresql.rb. This may allow a local attacker to gain access to password information.
