CVE-2005-4762
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, 7.0 SP6 and earlier, and 6.1 SP7 and earlier sometimes stores the boot password in the registry in cleartext, which might allow local users to gain administrative privileges.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.34%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
