In AuthenticationCF.cpp, we have

Credential core(CFURLCredentialRef cfCredential)
{
    ....

    return Credential(CFURLCredentialGetUsername(cfCredential), CFURLCredentialCopyPassword(cfCredential), persistence);
}

The password string returned from CFURLCredentialCopyPassword is a copy. We need to free it.

Actually I'll just do this as part of bug 65704.
