GNCC GP5 v7.1.76 was discovered to utilize a weak hashing algorithm to protect the root password, possibly allowing attackers to obtain root credentials and privileges via a bruteforce attack.
The product uses an algorithm that produces a digest (output value) that does not meet security expectations for a hash function that allows an adversary to reasonably determine the original input (preimage attack), find another input that can produce the same hash (2nd preimage attack), or find multiple inputs that evaluate to the same hash (birthday attack).
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/328.html →Open in CWE collection →Many languages use code signing facilities to vouch for code's identity and to thus tie code to its assigned privileges within an environment. Subverting this mechanism can be instrumental in an attacker escalating privilege. Any means of subverting the way that a virtual machine enforces code signing classifies for this style of attack.
