BbtsConnection_Edit.exe in Blackboard Transact Suite (formerly Blackboard Commerce Suite) before 3.6.0.2 relies on field names when determining whether it is appropriate to decrypt a connection.xml field value, which allows local users to discover the database password via a modified connection.xml file that contains an encrypted password in the <Server> field.

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.
