"JIRA and Confluence both use a SHA-512 hash, but without a random salt. 
We believe the risk to simple passwords based on dictionary words is 
quite high, and most users should rotate their passwords.

Bugzilla uses a SHA-256, including a random salt. The risk for most 
users is low to moderate, since pre-built password dictionaries are not 
effective, but we recommend users should still remove these passwords 
from use."
