Vulnerability Data

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…

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1110.002 Password Cracking Credential Access
Adversaries may use password cracking to attempt to recover usable credentials, such as plaintext passwords, when credential material such as password hashes are obtained.
Why these techniques?

Weak password hashing (MD5+SHA1, static salt) directly enables offline password cracking of obtained hashes.
