php-censor/php-censor is vulnerable to a Weak Hashing Algorithm. The vulnerability is due to the rememberKey being generated using only the MD5 hash of the login timestamp without adding any randomness or salt, making it susceptible to brute-force attacks. This allows attackers to easily compute the rememberKey by iterating over a potential timeframe of login attempts, thereby gaining unauthorized access to accounts with the “remember me” option enabled.
