## Description

An issue was discovered in Grafana 5.4.0. Passwords for data sources used
by Grafana (e.g., MySQL) are not encrypted. An admin user can reveal
passwords for any data source by pressing the "Save and test" button within
a data source's settings menu. When watching the transaction with Burp
Proxy, the password for the data source is revealed and sent to the server.
From a browser, a prompt to save the credentials is generated, and the
password can be revealed by simply checking the "Show password" box.
