Vulnerability Data

A weakness has been identified in ulisesbocchio jasypt-spring-boot up to 3.0.5/4.0.4. Affected by this vulnerability is the function getSecretKeySaltGenerator of the file jasypt-spring-boot/src/main/java/com/ulisesbocchio/jasyptspringboot/encryptor/SimpleGCMConfig.java of the component Password Hash Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to use of a one-way hash…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-13 Cryptographic Protection good match

Cryptographic protection requirements specify approved algorithms and usage that encompass salted one-way hashes for passwords.

IA-5 Authenticator Management good match

Authenticator management requires secure credential storage practices that include salted hashes.

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can identify missing salt values through code review or analysis.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Development standards and tools can mandate salted hashing as part of secure implementation requirements.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography mostly match
prevents

Use of cryptography requires appropriate cryptographic controls including salting for password hashing.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect unsalted hashes but does not prevent their introduction.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC processes can include password-handling rules but do not guarantee salted hashes.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate salted hashing but do not prescribe the technical detail.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles guide the selection of strong cryptographic mechanisms including proper salting.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsalted password hashes and require salting.
