CVE-2006-2469

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In BEA WebLogic Server 9.0, 8.1 up to SP5, 7.0 up to SP6, and 6.1 up to SP7, HTTP handlers store usernames and passwords in cleartext in the server log when access to a web application or protected JWS fails. This allows attackers to gain privileges.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves credential leakage into logs, potentially leading to unauthorized system access and privilege escalation within the organization.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately upgrade BEA WebLogic Server to a patched version and configure logging to prevent storing passwords in cleartext.
