Description
Projects using the SUSE Virtualization (Harvester) environment may expose the OS default ssh login password if they are using the 1.5.x or 1.6.x interactive installer to either create a new cluster or add new hosts to an existing cluster. The environment is not affected if the PXE boot mechanism is utilized along with the Harvester configuration setup.
