HighCVSS 7.8

Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.36%

28th percentile - higher than 28% of all known CVEs

Summary

The VeryFitPro app (com.veryfit2hr.second) version 3.2.8 hashes the account password locally on the device and uses the hash for authentication in all communication with the backend API, including login, registration, and password changes. This allows an attacker in possession of the hash to take over a user's account, rendering the benefits of storing hashed passwords in the database useless.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of user account takeover by an attacker who obtains the local password hash, potentially leading to data theft and privacy breaches.

Recommendation

Immediately update the VeryFitPro app to the latest version that does not use the password hash for authentication, and implement secure authentication mechanisms such as token-based sessions.
