This puts the password at risk in case the cookies get leaked.

MEDIUM 5.9EPSS 0.48%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.48%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The Passster WordPress plugin before 3.5.5.5.2 stores the password inside a cookie named "passster" using base64 encoding method which is easy to decode. This puts the password at risk in case the cookies get leaked.
