A vulnerability has been identified in Websense, which could be exploited by local attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information. This issue is caused due to the Reporter module storing SQL login credentials in plain text in the "CreateDbInstall.log" log file created during the installation process, which could allow malicious users to gain administrative SQL access.
