FS#1278 proxy password storen in PLAIN text
Security
2007-11-02sebastian_s
when using a proxy which requires a password the password is stored in PLAIN text in __$conf['proxy']['pass'] = 'secretpassword';__ in the local.php.
The password should be stored as a hash value or another more safe option.

The password has to be used in clear text for proxy authentication it can not be stored as a one way hash. Using two way encryption is senseless because we would need to store the key for the encryption in clear text. This is not fixable. If you use your proxy pass in the setup you have to protect the config file from prying eyes.
