Do Not Specify Passwords in the Command Line
Opis
When a command is executed on the command line, for example ; psql postgresql://postgres:PASSWORD@host the password may be visible in the user's shell/command history or in the process list, thus exposing the password to other entities on the server.

Check the process list (sudo ps -few) and shell histories (history, ~/.bash_history) for psql/pg_dump invocations that contain a password, e.g. in a connection string (password=...). Any visible password is a fail.
Kako se ispravlja
