CVE-2006-0838
IBM Tivoli Micromuse Netcool/NeuSecure 3.0.236 stores cleartext passwords in the (1) CMS_DBPASS, (2) CMSM_DBPASS, and (3) RPT_DBPASS fields in /etc/neusecure.conf, and in (4) /opt/NeuSecure/bin/ns_archiver.log, which allows local users to gain privileges.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
