CVE-2023-40173

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Social media skeleton versions prior to 1.0.5

Description The issue concerns a social media project implemented using php, css, javascript, and html. Prior to version 1.0.5, the project did not properly salt passwords, leaving user passwords susceptible to cracking should an attacker gain access to hashed passwords.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.0.5, upgrade to version 1.0.5 to address the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing additional security measures to protect user passwords until the upgrade can be applied.
