CVE-2014-9251
Zenoss Core through 5 Beta 3 uses a weak algorithm to hash passwords, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain cleartext values via a brute-force attack on hash values in the database, aka ZEN-15413.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
