Jenkins QMetry for JIRA Plugin shows plain text password in configuration form
Jenkins QMetry for JIRA - Test Management Plugin stores a credential as part of its post-build step configuration.

This can result in exposure of the password through browser extensions, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and similar situations.
