in thread How can a script use a password without making the password visible?

If the coder has enough access rights to edit the script, he has access to the credentials needed to access the external pasword storage and/or he can edit the script to expose the pasword.

Write access is not needed, read access is sufficient: Just copy the script, modify the copy, run the copy.
