CVE-2026-112029
LowCVSS 2.5Summary
In diem-project diem, in file lib/model/doctrine/PluginDmUser.class.php (SHA1 Handler component), manipulation of the salt/password argument leads to password hashes with insufficient computational effort. The attack requires local access and high complexity, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed.
Risk Assessment
Weak password hashing makes it easier for an attacker to crack passwords in the event of a database leak. Although the attack requires local access, the public exploit increases the risk of exploitation.
Recommendation
Update diem-project diem to a patched version or switch the hashing mechanism to a stronger one (e.g., bcrypt, Argon2). Monitor the project for an official fix, as the issue report has not yet been addressed.

Original NVD description (English source)
A vulnerability has been found in diem-project diem up to 5.1.3. This affects an unknown part of the file lib/model/doctrine/PluginDmUser.class.php of the component SHA1 Handler. Such manipulation of the argument salt/password leads to password hash with insufficient computational effort. The attack needs to be performed locally. The attack requires a high level of complexity. It is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
