CVE-2017-9635
When Ampla MES users are configured to use Simple Security, a weakness in the password hashing algorithm could be exploited to reverse the user's password.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
