Subject: [PATCH backup v2 1/3] fix #7054: client: remove trailing newlines from credentials
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 13:38:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220123818.365489-2-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260220123818.365489-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com>

For repositories and fingerprints we simply strip trailing whitespaces.
For passwords, we refer to the password regex at proxmox-schema:
`^[[:^cntrl:]]*$`, we can only strip trailing control characters without
potentially breaking existing passwords.

The encryption password is just a blob of bytes handled locally by the
client, we cannot remove trailing whitespace here without potential
breakage. Creation of such passwords (via
proxmox_sys::tty::read_and_verify_password) only verifies valid utf-8
and len >= 5.
