In Lenovo xClarity Administrator versions earlier than 2.1.0, an attacker that gains access to the underlying LXCA file system user may be able to retrieve a credential store containing the service processor user names and passwords for servers previously managed by that LXCA instance, and potentially decrypt those credentials more easily than intended.

Weakness

The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.
