I cannot go thru reset link on resetting the password

Given: I received the email from server with a link

When: I clicked on the link

Then: It will appear an error with this error: 

java.lang.NullPointerException: ConstantTimeComparison.isEqual does not accept null values.

Hi Hsiang,

I've checked the attachment and the stack trace us shown traces of the add-on BigPicture:

at.softwareplant.ppm.structureint.jiraserver.event.PluginIssueLinkListener.doFilter(PluginIssueLinkListener.java:72)

Would it be possible to disable the add-on or use the safe mode to test if the link will work?

- Disabling or enabling all apps (using Safe Mode)

Please, give a try and let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Angélica

Here's the follow complete details.

Hi Hsiang,

Are there other users facing this issue or it's only one user?
Is this link for resetting password for internal user or customer?
Is this issue currently active on the instance?

Hi,

I have exactly the same issue on my side (Jira DC 7.5.4) for a specific user, here is the stack trace I get :

java.lang.NullPointerException: ConstantTimeComparison.isEqual does not accept null values.
at com.atlassian.security.utils.ConstantTimeComparison.isEqual(ConstantTimeComparison.java:31) [atlassian-secure-utils-3.2.3.jar:?]

at com.atlassian.jira.web.action.user.ResetPassword.validateUserAndToken(ResetPassword.java:105) [classes/:?]
at com.atlassian.jira.web.action.user.ResetPassword.doDefault(ResetPassword.java:62)

How can we fix that ?

Thanks
