Certain switch models from PLANET Technology use an insecure hashing function to hash user passwords without being salted.

MEDIUM 4.9EPSS 0.30%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Certain switch models from PLANET Technology use an insecure hashing function to hash user passwords without being salted. Remote attackers with administrator privileges can read configuration files to obtain the hash values, and potentially crack them to retrieve the plaintext passwords.
