CVE-2016-0898
These credentials were logged to the Service Backup component logs, and not the system log, thus were not exposed outside the Service Backup VM.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
