CWE-916BaseIncomplete
Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort
The product generates a hash for a password, but it uses a scheme that does not provide a sufficient level of computational effort that would make password cracking attacks infeasible or expensive.

CVE-2023-5846
Franklin Fueling System TS-550 versions prior to 1.9.23.8960 are vulnerable to attackers decoding admin credentials, resulting in unauthenticated access to the device.
CVE-2023-34433
PiiGAB M-Bus stores passwords using a weak hash algorithm.
CVE-2021-36767In Digi RealPort through 4.10.490, authentication relies on a challenge-response mechanism that gives access to the server password, making the protection ineffective. An attacker may send an unauthenticated request to the server. The server will reply with a weakly-hashed version of the server's access password. The attacker may then crack this hash offline in order to successfully login to the server.
CVE-2019-17216An 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.
CVE-2018-15680An issue was discovered in BTITeam XBTIT 2.5.4. The hashed passwords stored in the xbtit_users table are stored as unsalted MD5 hashes, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain cleartext values via a brute-force attack.
CVE-2018-10618Davolink DVW-3200N all version prior to Version 1.00.06. The device generates a weak password hash that is easily cracked, allowing a remote attacker to obtain the password for the device.
CVE-2017-3962Password recovery exploitation vulnerability in the non-certificate-based authentication mechanism in McAfee Network Security Management (NSM) before 8.2.7.42.2 allows attackers to crack user passwords via unsalted hashes.
CVE-2005-0408CitrusDB 0.3.6 and earlier generates easily predictable MD5 hashes of the user name for the id_hash cookie, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain privileges by calculating the MD5 checksum of the user name combined with the "boogaadeeboo" string, which is hard-coded in the $hidden_hash variable.
CVE-2001-0967Knox Arkeia server 4.2, and possibly other versions, uses a constant salt when encrypting passwords using the crypt() function, which makes it easier for an attacker to conduct brute force password guessing.
CVE-2019-19735class.userpeer.php in MFScripts YetiShare 3.5.2 through 4.5.3 uses an insecure method of creating password reset hashes (based only on microtime), which allows an attacker to guess the hash and set the password within a few hours by bruteforcing.
CVE-2020-16231The affected Bachmann Electronic M-Base Controllers of version MSYS v1.06.14 and later use weak cryptography to protect device passwords. Affected controllers that are actively supported include MX207, MX213, MX220, MC206, MC212, MC220, and MH230 hardware controllers, and affected end-of-life controller include MC205, MC210, MH212, ME203, CS200, MP213, MP226, MPC240, MPC265, MPC270, MPC293, MPE270, and CPC210 hardware controllers. Security Level 0 is set at default from the manufacturer, which could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain access to the password hashes. Security Level 4 is susceptible if an authenticated remote attacker or an unauthenticated person with physical access to the device reads and decrypts the password to conduct further attacks.
CVE-2026-25861QloApps through 1.7.0, fixed in commit 64e9722, contains a weak cryptographic algorithm vulnerability that allows attackers to compromise user credentials by exploiting the use of MD5 for password hashing in the Tools::encrypt() function within classes/Tools.php, which concatenates a static cookie key with the supplied password. Attackers can perform offline brute-force attacks against the MD5 hashes, with the risk compounded by auto-generated 8-character passwords assigned during guest-to-customer account conversion in classes/Customer.php, making credential recovery trivial.
