NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE in DECnet-Plus in OpenVMS ALPHA 7.3-2 and Alpha 8.2 writes a password to an audit log file when there is a successful connection after a "network breakin" event, which allows local users to obtain passwords by reading the file.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.62%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
