CVE-2000-0402 describes a plaintext password storage vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server 7.0's Mixed Mode authentication. The System Administrator (sa) account password is written to a log file, making it readable by any local user. This vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.1, indicating a local attack vector with low complexity and a potential impact of information disclosure. While not actively exploited in the wild (no KEV entry), exploit modules are available in Metasploit and ExploitDB, demonstrating proof-of-concept for payload execution. Despite its age and low CVSS, its high EPSS and FAUCET scores suggest a higher-than-average likelihood of exploitation given its availability of exploit code.
