Manifest · Manifest · CVE-2025-27408
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Manifest versions prior to 4.9.1
**Description**
The issue is related to 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 hash, making it easier for attackers to identify and exploit patterns, thereby accelerating the cracking process.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 4.9.1, update to version 4.9.1 to fix the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive data and implementing additional security measures to minimize the risk of exploitation.
