Hi Christian,
Passwords are removed from log files using filtered_parameter_logging
parameter. This is feature is applied in the code see the line in
login_controller.rb<http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.epf/epfwiki/source/app/controllers/login_controller.rb?revision=1.13&root=Technology_Project&view=markup>
filter_parameter_logging :password, :password_confirmation

Passwords are not stored anywhere. Only a 'hash' of the password is saved to
the database together with the account details (name, email). As a
consequence it is not possible to recover or resend a lost password.  If you
look for example at http://epf.eclipse.org/login/lost_password you will
notice that you have to provide a new password. The new password will only
become active after it is confirmed using the confirmation link in the email
that will be send when the form is submitted.

I don't know of any other known security issues. Currently there are no
issues in Eclipse Bugs regarding security.
Best Regards,
Onno
