Research direction
Start by inspecting the /update.php dispatcher and tracing how #arg[] values are sent to syslog. The issue body is redacted, so consult the security email submission and repository context before changing behavior. Done means sensitive values such as passwords are no longer logged in cleartext and the relevant logging behavior is verified.
