When the local caching feature using SQLite is enabled and SQL authentication is used for the SQL Server authentication, the SQL Server credentials are stored in plaintext within the local SQLite file. This results in a vulnerability due to Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information (CWE 312), which may lead to information disclosure, tampering, or denial of service (DoS).
