Windows Kernel Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
Cleartext storage of sensitive information in Windows Kernel allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.
Weakness Type
Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information
The application stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere. Because the information is stored in cleartext, attackers could potentially read it. Even if the information is encoded in a way that is not human-readable, certain techniques could determine which encoding is being used, then decode the information.
