[6.10.0] [SECURITY] VNC does not allow secure passwords

  • Minor

OP in pre-release section by me for Unraid OS 6.10.0 RC8. Since this issue has persisted into the stable release, I am reposting here. Not sure if allowed to have two posts (prerelease/stable) for the same issue. If this is not allowed, feel free to contact me or adjust as needed. :)

I looked at the full release notes and tried to see if the VNC package that Unraid Linux uses was the cause. I could not figure out which library/package it is.

 

Issue:

When editing or creating a VM, the VNC password field in the WebGUI template, does not allow any password greater than 8 characters.

This issue was first noticed when turning on a VM just after 6.10.0-RC8 update. I was prompted that my 19 character password exceeded the 8 character limit (as shown similarly in screenshot attached).

 

By today's standards passwords less than 8 characters are considered insecure.

 

Reproduction steps:

1. Inside of Unraid WebGUI, navigate to VMs tab.

2. Select the "ADD VM" button below the list of currently installed VMs to create a new VM.

3. Select VM template type Linux. This shouldn't matter but these are my exact steps for testing.

4. Set primary vDisk size to "10M".

5. Set VNC Password to anything greater than 8 characters. In this case "123456789".

6. Select the button "Create VM".

7. Observe the following error: "VM reation error unsupported configuration: VNC password is 9 characters long, only 8 permitted."
