Description:
Eric Beaulieu has reported a security issue in Websense, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to the Websense Reporter Module storing the password for the administrative SQL user in plain text in the file "CreateDbInstall.log" within a accessible zip file in the installation directory.

The security issue is reported in the Websense Reporter Module in Websense version 6.3.2. Other versions may also be affected.
