Descriptions

The web-based admin console in H2 Database Engine before 2.2.220 can be started via the CLI with the argument -webAdminPassword, which allows the user to specify the password in cleartext for the web admin console. Consequently, a local user (or an attacker that has obtained local access through some means) would be able to discover the password by listing processes and their arguments. NOTE: the vendor states "This is not a vulnerability of H2 Console ... Passwords should never be passed on the command line and every qualified DBA or system administrator is expected to know that." Nonetheless, the issue was fixed in 2.2.220.

** DISPUTA ** La consola de administración basada en web en H2 Database Engine hasta 2.1.214 se puede iniciar a través de la CLI con el argumento -webAdminPassword, que permite al usuario especificar la contraseña en texto sin cifrar para la consola de administración web. En consecuencia, un usuario local (o un atacante que haya obtenido acceso local por algún medio) podría descubrir la contraseña enumerando los procesos y sus argumentos. NOTA: el proveedor afirma: "Esto no es una vulnerabilidad de la consola H2... Las contraseñas nunca deben pasarse en la línea de comando y se espera que todo administrador de sistema o DBA calificado lo sepa".
