Discussion

Any application providing too much information in error logs and in administrative messages to the screen risks compromising the data and security of the application and system. The structure and content of error messages needs to be carefully considered by the organization and development team. The application server must not log sensitive information such as passwords, private keys, or other sensitive data. This requirement pertains to logs that are generated by the application server and application server processes, not the applications that may reside on the application server. Those errors are out of the scope of these requirements.

Check Content

1. Access EM 
2. Select the domain from the navigation tree, and use the dropdown to select 'WebLogic Domain' -> 'Logs' -> 'View Log Messages'
3. Within the search criteria, click 'Add Fields' button
4. Notice the list of available fields do not contain sensitive data

If sensitive or potentially harmful information, such as passwords, private keys or other sensitive data, is part of the error logs or administrative messages, this is a finding.
