BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, and 7.0 SP6 and earlier, might allow local users to gain privileges by using the run-as deployment descriptor element to change the privileges of a web application or EJB from the Deployer security role to the Admin security role.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, and 7.0 SP6 and earlier, in certain "heavy usage" scenarios, report incorrect severity levels for an audit event, which might allow attackers to perform unauthorized actions and avoid detection.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, and 7.0 SP5 and earlier, do not properly validate derived Principals with multiple PrincipalValidators, which might allow attackers to gain privileges.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP3 and earlier, and 7.0 SP5 and earlier, do not properly "constrain" a "/" (slash) servlet root URL pattern, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended servlet protections.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 and 7.0, during a migration across operating system platforms, do not warn the administrative user about platform differences in URLResource case sensitivity, which might cause local users to inadvertently lose protection of Web Application pages.
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP3 and earlier, and 7.0 SP5 and earlier, when fullyDelegatedAuthorization is enabled for a servlet, does not cause servlet deployment to fail when failures occur in authorization or role providers, which might prevent the servlet from being "fully protected."
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).
