What is CVE-2013-2951?

IBM WebSphere Portal versions 7.0.0.x and 8.0.0.x are susceptible to a security concern where passwords are inadvertently written to a trace file when tracing is activated for the Selfcare Portlet (Profile Management). This flaw enables local users to access sensitive data by reading the contents of the trace file, potentially exposing user credentials and other sensitive information. Organizations utilizing these versions should take immediate steps to mitigate this risk and ensure secure handling of sensitive data.
