Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
BTITeam XBTIT version 2.5.4
Description
An issue was discovered where the password hash of a user is rehashed using a predictable salt and stored in the
pass cookie, which is not flagged as HTTPOnly. This allows an attacker who steals the cookie to efficiently brute-force it and retrieve the user's cleartext password.Recommendations
For BTITeam XBTIT version 2.5.4, consider disabling the storage of password hashes in the
pass cookie until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive areas of the application to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using predictable salts for password hashing. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploitability
