CVE-2020-14049

Viber for Windows up to 13.2.0.39 does not properly quote its custom URI handler. A malicious website could launch Viber with arbitrary parameters, forcing a victim to send an NTLM authentication request, and either relay the request or capture the hash for offline password cracking. NOTE: this...

CVE-2020-11916

An issue was discovered in Siime Eye 14.1.00000001.3.330.0.0.3.14. The password for the root user is hashed using an old and deprecated hashing technique. Because of this deprecated hashing, the success probability of an attacker in an offline cracking attack is greatly increased...

CVE-2019-25030

In Versa Director, Versa Analytics and VOS, Passwords are not hashed using an adaptive cryptographic hash function or key derivation function prior to storage. Popular hashing algorithms based on the Merkle-Damgardconstruction such as MD5 and SHA-1 alone are insufficient in thwarting password...

CVE-2019-17216

An issue was discovered on V-Zug Combi-Steam MSLQ devices before Ethernet R07 and before WLAN R05. Password authentication uses MD5 to hash passwords. Cracking is possible with minimal effort...

Passwords in the age of AI: We need to find alternatives

For decades, passwords have been our default method for keeping online accounts safe. But in the age of artificial intelligence, this traditional security method is facing challenges it was never built to withstand. A team at Cybernews conducted a study of over 19 billion newly exposed passwords...

The vulnerability of the INDIGO testing system lies in the absence of restrictions on authentication attempts. This allows a perpetrator to carry out an attack using brute-force methods—automated password retrieval.

The vulnerability of the INDIGO testing system is related to the absence of restrictions on authentication attempts. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a perpetrator, operating remotely, to carry out an attack using brute-force methods automated password cracking...

Manifest Uses a One-Way Hash without a Salt

Summary 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...

CVE-2025-27408 Manifest Uses a One-Way Hash without a Salt

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,...

Three Password Cracking Techniques and How to Defend Against Them

Passwords are rarely appreciated until a security breach occurs; suffice to say, the importance of a strong password becomes clear only when faced with the consequences of a weak one. However, most end users are unaware of just how vulnerable their passwords are to the most common password-cracki...

CVE-2025-26410

The firmware of all Wattsense Bridge devices contain the same hard-coded user and root credentials. The user password can be easily recovered via password cracking attempts. The recovered credentials can be used to log into the device via the login shell that is exposed by the serial interface. T...

CVE-2025-26410

Wattsense Bridge firmware prior to 6.4.1 contains hard-coded user/root credentials; recovered passwords enable login via the serial interface, leading to total compromise. The backdoor user has been removed in firmware BSP >= 6.4.1. Recommended remediation: update Wattsense Bridge firmware to ...
