Summary
A vulnerability in Caterease versions 16.0.1.1663 through 24.0.1.2405 (and possibly later) stores user passwords as one-way hashes without salts. This allows a remote attacker to perform a Rainbow Table password cracking attack to recover passwords.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves mass password decryption, potentially leading to unauthorized account access and privilege escalation within the system.
Recommendation
Immediately update Caterease to a version that uses salted password hashing and enforce password changes for all users.
