| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
VISAM VBASE Editor version 11.5.0.2
VBASE Web-Remote Module
Description
The issue concerns a weak hashing algorithm and insecure permissions, potentially allowing a local attacker to bypass the password-protected mechanism. This could be achieved through brute-force attacks, cracking techniques, or overwriting the password hash.
Recommendations
For VISAM VBASE Editor version 11.5.0.2, consider updating the hashing algorithm to a more secure one and review the permissions settings to ensure they are properly configured.
For VBASE Web-Remote Module, restrict access to the module until a secure hashing algorithm and proper permissions are implemented.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling password hash storage or limiting access to the password-protected mechanism until the issue is resolved.
Fix
Inadequate Encryption Strength
Use of a Broken Cryptographic Algorithm
