CVE-2026-36182: n/a
GNCC GP5 v7.1.76 was discovered to utilize a weak hashing algorithm to protect the root password, possibly allowing attackers to obtain root credentials and privileges via a bruteforce attack.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-36182 identifies a critical vulnerability in GNCC GP5 v7.1.76 where the root password is protected using a weak hashing algorithm (CWE-328). This weakness potentially enables attackers to perform brute force attacks to recover root credentials and gain full system privileges. The vulnerability has a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). There is no vendor advisory or patch available at this time, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to complete compromise of the affected system by allowing attackers to obtain root credentials. This results in full control over the system, including unauthorized access, modification, and disruption of services.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider restricting access to the affected system, monitoring for suspicious authentication attempts, and preparing for credential rotation once a patch becomes available.
