Social media skeleton versions prior to 1.0.5
**Description**
The issue concerns a social media project implemented using php, css, javascript, and html. Prior to version 1.0.5, the project did not properly salt passwords, leaving user passwords susceptible to cracking should an attacker gain access to hashed passwords. This issue has been addressed in version 1.0.5.
