NetworkManager profiles Section Contains Identifiable Info

[opticyclic]

The ##### NetworkManager profiles ########### section contains unnecessary identifiable info.

e.g.

[[/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/My-Wifi-SSID]] (600 root)
[connection] id=My-Wifi-SSID | type=wifi | permissions=user:MyUserId:;
[wifi] mac-address=<MAC 'wlo1' [IF2]> | mac-address-blacklist= | ssid=My-Wifi-SSID
[ipv4] method=auto
[ipv6] method=auto

This should be masked as the identifiable info doesn't add anything to the diagnosis.

This information can be useful and at times may stop someone from having the information needed to resolve an issue, you are more then welcome to mask the information if you would like, however it does not really present a security risk.

Exposing any user identifiable information is a potential security risk.

Can you point to an example where having the users username instead of a masked username is required information to resolve an issue?

Five years later and this script still outputs every wireless SSID and BSSID, allowing the precise physical geolocation of unsuspecting users simply trying to get help with their networking.

@wildmanne39 if you're responsible for this product, it's time to take significant and meaningful steps to ensure privacy or warn about the risks of the same. Your users deserve it.
