Abstract

The web-based admin console in H2 Database Engine through 2.1.214 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.

The Oxygen products incorporate H2 Database as a third-party library. This advisory was opened to address the potential impact of this third-party library vulnerability.
