CVE-1999-1236
Internet Anywhere Mail Server 2.3.1 stores passwords in plaintext in the msgboxes.dbf file, which could allow local users to gain privileges by extracting the passwords from msgboxes.dbf.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
