CVE-2014-0841
IBM Rational Focal Point 6.4.0, 6.4.1, 6.5.1, 6.5.2, and 6.6.0 use a weak algorithm to hash passwords, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain cleartext values via a brute-force attack.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
