VariantIncomplete
Description
The product uses a one-way cryptographic hash against an input that should not be reversible, such as a password, but the product does not also use a salt as part of the input.

| CVE | Sev | Risk | CVSS | EPSS | KEV | Published | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-10205 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Sep 17, 2025 | Use of a One-Way Hash with a Predictable Salt vulnerability in ABB FLXEON.This issue affects FLXEON: through 9.3.5. and newer versions | |
| CVE-2024-36440 | Med | 0.44 | 6.8 | 0.00 | Aug 22, 2024 | An issue was discovered on Swissphone DiCal-RED 4009 devices. An attacker with access to the file /etc/deviceconfig may recover the administrative device password via password-cracking methods, because unsalted MD5 is used. | |
| CVE-2023-1430 | Med | 0.42 | 6.5 | 0.02 | Jun 9, 2023 | The FluentCRM - Marketing Automation For WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data in versions up to, and including, 2.8.01 due to the use of an MD5 hash without a salt to control subscriptions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to unsubscribe users from lists and manage subscriptions, granted they gain access to any targeted subscribers email address. | |
| CVE-2025-53884 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | Sep 17, 2025 | NeuVector stores user passwords and API keys using a simple, unsalted hash. This method is vulnerable to rainbow table attack (offline attack where hashes of known passwords are precomputed). | |
| CVE-2025-5922 | Med | 0.31 | — | 0.00 | Jul 29, 2025 | Access to TSplus Remote Access Admin Tool is restricted to administrators (unless "Disable UAC" option is enabled) and requires a PIN code. In versions below v18.40.6.17 the PIN's hash is stored in a system registry accessible to regular users, making it possible to perform a brute-force attack using rainbow tables, since the hash is not salted. LTS (Long-Term Support) versions also received patches in v17.2025.6.27 and v16.2025.6.27 releases. | |
| CVE-2025-27408 | Med | 0.24 | 4.8 | 0.00 | Feb 28, 2025 | Manifest offers users a one-file micro back end. Prior to version 4.9.2, Manifest employs a weak password hashing implementation that uses SHA3 without a salt. This exposes user passwords to a higher risk of being cracked if an attacker gains access to the database. Without the use of a salt, identical passwords across multiple users will result in the same hash, making it easier for attackers to identify and exploit patterns, thereby accelerating the cracking process. Version 4.9.2 fixes the issue. |
