Issue/Introduction

We're running a Web Agent and this one reports in the logs the SMSESSION value

"SMSESSION=data_supressed" but on the same transaction, on

auto-authorize URL, the SMSESSION is visible in the logs.

We'd like to know why ?

We refer to this given fix in 12.52SP1CR09 :

  Defects Fixed in 12.52 SP1 CR09

    00979227 DE350367

    SMSESSION logs the SMQUERYDATA value when it is passes as a query in a URL.

Is that a vulnerability ?


Environment

Web Agent 12.52SP1CR09

Resolution

The above fix is not about a vulnerability. It's about Web Agent

logging which produces a crash of the Web Agent on protected

resource.
