| Impact |Information disclosure |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| |An information disclosure vulnerability in the MC REST API allows|
|Description|a malicious authenticated user to obtain passwords for external |
| |backup and CPL policy import servers that they might not |
| |otherwise be authorized to access. |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
Mitigation
This vulnerability has security impact only when MC is configured with multiple
users. The first authenticated administrator can configure the external server
passwords on MC. The second, malicious, administrator or view-only user might
not be authorized to access the external servers, but can obtain the passwords
through the MC REST API.
