GHSA-2FVJ-HGJ9-J2GR Eclipse Jetty Digest Authentication: ISO-8859-1 lossy encoding allows authentication bypass via character substitution

Summary The DigestAuthentication.apply method in Jetty's HTTP client uses getBytesStandardCharsets.ISO88591 at three locations lines 171, 179, 196 to compute Digest auth response hashes. ISO-8859-1 silently replaces any character above U+00FF Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, Arabic, Emoji, etc. with...

CVE-2020-5229

Opencast before 8.1 stores passwords using the rather outdated and cryptographically insecure MD5 hash algorithm. Furthermore, the hashes are salted using the username instead of a random salt, causing hashes for users with the same username and password to collide which is problematic especially...

CVE-2020-35221: Inadequate Encryption Strength

The hashing algorithm implemented for NSDP password authentication on NETGEAR JGS516PE/GS116Ev2 v2.6.0.43 devices was found to be insecure, allowing attackers with access to a network capture to quickly generate multiple collisions to generate valid passwords, or infer some parts of the original...

CVE-2006-4068: Undefined Security Weakness

The pswd.js script relies on the client to calculate whether a username and password match hard-coded hashed values for a server, and uses a hashing scheme that creates a large number of collisions, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct offline brute force attacks. NOTE: this scri...
