VAR-200908-0382

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 23:22

The Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System (CS-MARS) 6.0.4 and earlier stores cleartext passwords in log/sysbacktrace.## files within error-logs.tar.gz archives, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading these files. Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS) is prone to a local information-disclosure vulnerability. Local attackers can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information that can aid in further attacks. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug CSCtb52450. Cisco Security MARS 6.0.4 and prior are vulnerable
