    Description

      A customer has reported that:

      his password was displayed in plain text in the error logs displayed on his screen. Screen also indicated he should copy and send said error to Admin and/or Atlassian.
      This is horrendous security and needs to be changed.

      snippet of the error message displayed on screen:

      Cause:
      javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter execution threw an exception

      caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
