CVE-2018-1882
In a certain atypical IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 configurations, the node password could be displayed in plain text in the IBM Spectrum Protect client trace file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
