CVE-2012-4862
The Host Connect emulator in IBM Rational Developer for System z 7.1 through 8.5.1 does not properly store the SSL certificate password, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
