In Redmine before 3.2.6 and 3.3.x before 3.3.3, remote attackers can obtain sensitive information (password reset tokens) by reading a Referer log, because account/lost_password does not use a redirect.

Information written to log files can be of a sensitive nature and give valuable guidance to an attacker or expose sensitive user information.
