Hi,
I've a issue with password disclosure when using the M2 Release Plugin and entering the password.
During the release build the SCM Password is passed to a child maven instance and unfortunately dumped in plain text (not masked) to the log output. I would expect that this password is masked using the 'Default' Jenkins mechanism but it is not.
As a easy test I've changed the goal to be executed as "Release goals and options" to "help:system". If I now start a release build and enter scm username/password. I can read in the Log:
<===[JENKINS REMOTING CAPACITY]===>channel started
Executing Maven: -B -f /export/sbs/jenkins/home/workspace/am-test/pom.xml -DdevelopmentVersion=2-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=1 -Dusername=jenkins help:system -Dpassword=*********

Bug or usage error? Any hint would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
