Summary

The administrative password is hashed using a comparatively weak, fast algorithm for the credential store backing one authentication path, and the file containing that hash is written with permissions allowing it to be read by any local user. This is inconsistent with a separate, stronger hashing algorithm used for the same password on another authentication path.

Risk Assessment

A party able to read this file, including a local user or a party with access to a configuration backup, could feasibly recover the underlying password through offline computation. This compromises the administrative credential across every path that accepts it.

Recommendation

Update the software to a version using a strong hashing algorithm and restrict permissions on the hash file. Change the administrative password and check for unauthorized access.
