In several JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA versions, creating remote run configurations of JavaEE application servers leads to saving a cleartext record of the server credentials in the IDE configuration files. The issue has been fixed in the following versions: 2018.3.5, 2018.2.8, 2018.1.8.
Weakness
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.
