Workaround(s) & Mitigation(s):

Two ways to reduce the possibilities of having the CMM local account
password exploited on affected releases are:

    Use the CMM to change the local account’s password shortly after the
    pattern has been deployed to the CMM.  Then the weak encrypted value
    will not apply to the CMM user.
    Use the CMM interfaces to create local accounts instead of the “New
    User and Security Pattern” Configuration Pattern.
