According to its version number, the copy of DameWare Mini Remote Control installed on the remote host allows a local user to recover authentication credentials because the application stores sensitive information in memory as plaintext - username, password, hostname, etc in the case of the ‘DWRCC’ client process and username (but not password) and authentication type in the case of the ‘DWRCS’ server process.
