Official Description
EMC RSA Web Threat Detection before 5.1 SP1 stores a cleartext AnnoDB password in a configuration file, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by reading this file.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2015-4547 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
