Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.51%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70, _isAdminPasswordValid uses an == comparison. Thus, if the correct password is "0e" followed by any digit string, then an attacker can login with any other string that evaluates to 0.0 (such as the 0e0 string). This occurs in admin/plib/LoginManager.php.
