The automated-backup functionality in Blackboard Transact Suite (formerly Blackboard Commerce Suite) stores the (1) database username and (2) database password in cleartext in (a) script and (b) batch (.bat) files, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a file.
The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
