Bug description:
  The externalfeed block should protect user credentials when
  authenticated RSS feeds are used.  The blocktype in Mahara 1.5.1
  appears to store login credentials in cleartext within the database.

  This presents an unfortunate vulnerability that could give access to
  other systems should Mahara's database be compromised.
