Hi Luigi,
.yml file for DagPush node in /opt/minemeld/local/config shows password of the device in clear text. It should be at least hashed.
Thanks

Hi Bertrand,
the password can't be hashed because the authentication to PAN-OS API requires a plain text password (over an encrypted channel). An improvement could be encrypting passwords with a configurable secret key, but if you have the rights to access the VM and read the config files it wouldn't add a lot in terms of security.
Best thing is creating a PAN-OS account with limited rights dedicated to the minemeld.
Thanks,
