Description

BEA has reported a vulnerability in WebLogic, which possibly may expose administrative passwords to users.

The problem is that the administrator password used to boot the server might be written to the "config.xml" file in clear text. Users with read permissions on the file might therefore be able to see the password.

The vulnerability affects WebLogic Server and Express 8.1, released and Service Pack 1 on all platforms.


Solution
Upgrade to Service Pack 2.
