BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, 7.0 SP5 and earlier, and 6.1 SP7 and earlier log the Java command line at server startup, which might include sensitive information (passwords or keyphrases) in the server log file when the -D option is used.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, 7.0 SP6 and earlier, and 6.1 SP7 and earlier sometimes stores the boot password in the registry in cleartext, which might allow local users to gain administrative privileges.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, 7.0 SP6 and earlier, and 6.1 SP7 and earlier, when Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) is used, sometimes include a password in an exception message that is sent to a client or stored in a log file, which might allow remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 9.0, 8.1, and 7.0 lock out the admin user account after multiple incorrect password guesses, which allows remote attackers who know or guess the admin account name to cause a denial of service (blocked admin logins).
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier and 7.0 SP6 and earlier, when using the weblogic.Deployer command with the t3 protocol, does not use the secure t3s protocol even when an Administration port is enabled on the Administration server, which might allow remote attackers to sniff the connection.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, and 7.0 SP5 and earlier, do not encrypt multicast traffic, which might allow remote attackers to read sensitive cluster synchronization messages by sniffing the multicast traffic.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP5 and earlier, and 7.0 SP6 and earlier, when using username/password authentication, does not lock out a username after the maximum number of invalid login attempts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess the password.
BEA Systems WebLogic 8.1 SP1 allows remote attackers to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a Content-Length header, which causes WebLogic to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a separate HTTP request, aka "HTTP Request Smuggling."
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 through Service Pack 3 and 7.0 through Service Pack 5 does not properly handle when a security provider throws an exception, which may cause WebLogic to use incorrect identity for the thread, or to fail to audit security exceptions.
