The default login portlet in HCL Digital Experience and Digital Experience Compose insufficiently protects credentials.

MEDIUM 5.4EPSS 0.18%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The default login portlet in HCL Digital Experience and Digital Experience Compose insufficiently protects credentials.  Under certain very specific use cases and specific configurations, sensitive information may be written to web server logs.  This only affects applications using the default login portlet.
