CVE-2006-2546
A recommended admin password reset mechanism for BEA WebLogic Server 8.1, when followed before October 10, 2005, causes the administrator password to be stored in cleartext in the domain directory, which could allow attackers to gain privileges.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.62%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
