Symptoms
When you query DBA_USERS you notice the password of user ANONYMOUS is set to 'anonymous':
SQL> select username, account_status , password
from dba_users
where username = 'ANONYMOUS' ;
USERNAME ACCOUNT_STATUS PASSWORD
------------ -------------------------------- ------------------------------
ANONYMOUS LOCKED anonymous
from dba_users
where username = 'ANONYMOUS' ;
USERNAME ACCOUNT_STATUS PASSWORD
------------ -------------------------------- ------------------------------
ANONYMOUS LOCKED anonymous
Why is that? Is this a security risk? Should the password not be encrypted?
