Threats Tagged 'cwe-916'

CareCam CM2507 IP cameras store the device's root-account password using a fixed legacy password hash that provides insufficient resistance to offline cracking. An attacker who obtains the firmware image or password database could recover the associated credential, which may also be reusable across other devices running the same firmware.

The administrative password is hashed using a comparatively weak, fast algorithm for the credential store backing one authentication path, and the file containing that hash is written with permissions allowing it to be read by any local user. This is inconsistent with a separate, stronger hashing algorithm used for the same password on another authentication path. A party able to read this file, including a local user or a party with access to a configuration backup, could feasibly recover the underlying password through offline computation, compromising the administrative credential across every path that accepts it.

A security issue exists within OTTO® Fleet Manager. The vulnerability stems from the use of an insufficient work factor in the bcrypt password hashing implementation, which could reduce the computational cost required for an attacker to perform offline brute-force attacks against stored password hashes. If an attacker gains access to an unencrypted system backup, the weakly hashed credentials could be more easily compromised.

CVE-2026-49005 is a low-severity vulnerability in the ZTE F689 device where the root password hash can be extracted from unencrypted firmware data. The weakness involves the use of a password hash with insufficient computational effort, classified under CWE-916. This vulnerability does not have a known exploit in the wild and no official patch or remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor. The impact is limited to potential exposure of the root password hash, which could aid an attacker with physical or firmware access. No affected software versions are explicitly stated.

Windu CMS uses hashing algorithm based on MD5 and SHA1 with static salt to store user passwords. This allows an attacker who obtain password hash to decode user credentials. Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version 4.1 but may also affect other versions.

TP-Link Deco M5 v1 uses a weak password hashing mechanism to store user credentials. An attacker who obtains the password hash through system compromise or privileged access could perform brute-force or dictionary attacks. Successful exploitation may result in disclosure of authentication credentials, enabling unauthorized access to device management functions, depending on the privileges associated with the recovered password. The primary security impact is loss of confidentiality.

Kestra is an open-source, event-driven orchestration platform. Prior to 1.3.24, this vulnerability exists in the BasicAuth authentication component of the Kestra OSS workflow orchestration platform. An attacker who gains read access to the PostgreSQL database can exploit SHA-512's high computation speed to recover the administrator password offline. In Kubernetes deployments, a successful crack further enables reading of the cluster ServiceAccount Token and all K8s Secrets, achieving vertical privilege escalation. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.24.

Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl have a weak default algorithm and number of iterations. The default algorithm is HMAC-SHA1, which should only be used for legacy systems. These versions default to using 1000 iterations. Depending on the chosen algorithm, 220,000 to 1,400,000 iterations should be used.

Version 3.0.7 of the Securly Chrome Extension uses EVP_BytesToKey key derivation with MD5 and a single iteration for AES encryption. MD5 has been broken since 2004 and a single iteration provides no key stretching.

The Danelec MacGregor Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) G4e uses a password hashing method that limits password length and is vulnerable to brute force attacks due to insufficient computational effort. This weakness could allow attackers with network access and low privileges to recover passwords, impacting confidentiality. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5.4. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
