Description

Bugzilla contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized password exposure. It is possible to gain access to plaintext passwords when the user is prompted to log in while attempting to view a chart. The user's password can be embedded as part of a report URL, and thus visible in the web server logs, which may lead to a loss of confidentiality.
