Cogent DataHub Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort
Cogent DataHub before 7.3.5 does not use a salt during password hashing, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain cleartext passwords via a brute-force attack.
CVE 해결 방법
Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc. has produced a new version of the
Cogent DataHub application, Version 7.3.5, that fixes three of the four
identified vulnerabilities. The updated version is available at the
following address:

Cogent
has indicated that it will not be fixing the cryptographic weaknesses
of hashed usernames and passwords because of compatibility issues with
existing systems. Cogent and the researcher agree that an effective
mitigation strategy for users is to select sufficiently strong
passwords. Cogent has indicated that password hashes can be checked for
strength using sites such as: https://crackstation.net/ .
Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort The product generates a hash for a password, but it uses a scheme that does not provide a sufficient level of computational effort that would make password cracking attacks infeasible or expensive.
