CVE-2026-92921

MediumCVSS 4.9
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

admin3 through 3.0.0 stores account passwords using single-round MD5 with only the username as salt and no key derivation function. Attackers with database access can recover plaintext passwords through offline dictionary or brute-force attacks due to negligible computational effort.

Risk Assessment

If the database is leaked, all user passwords can be cracked quickly, leading to account takeover and unauthorized access to the system.

Recommendation

Migrate password storage to a strong salted algorithm with a key derivation function (e.g., bcrypt, Argon2) as soon as possible and force a password reset for all users.
