Summary

CVE-2026-107829 is a high-severity Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort (CWE-916) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Password Cracking (T1110.002); ranked at the 9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-5 (Authenticator Management) and SC-13 (Cryptographic Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
