Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux The backtrace records texts with mail clients where passwords are associated and are posted to the bug report list. Need edit feature to look for patterns that equal passwords or other secure information and XXXXX it out. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Crash your system while in Thunderbird Actual Results: See my recent crash report under Plasma Expected Results: Found out after the fact. Had to change my password because of this. Very poor security. I'll never report another crash again because of this.
How do you think it should detect passwords?
Store a list of keyword items in a secure file that the bug system will edit from the information sent to the bug center. To "X" out the information, or to use some other pattern or word.

This isn't really solvable. Even the best attempts would not cover all cases so there's always a chance secrets are leaked unfortunately. This would likely be less of a problem if we didn't track crashes in the bug tracker, but even changing that is unfortunately a fairly involved change.
