CVE-2025-56608

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

The SourceCodester Android application "Corona Virus Tracker App India" 1.0 uses MD5 for digest authentication in `OkHttpClientWrapper.java`. The `handleDigest()` function employs `MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5")` to hash credentials. MD5 is a broken cryptographic algorithm known to allow hash collisions. This makes the authentication mechanism vulnerable to replay, spoofing, or brute-force attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized access. The vulnerability corresponds to CWE-327 and aligns with OWASP M5: Insufficient Cryptography and MASVS MSTG-CRYPTO-4.

      "value": "La aplicación de Android SourceCodester ’Corona Virus Tracker App India’ 1.0 utiliza MD5 para la autenticación de resumen en ’OkHttpClientWrapper.java’. La función ’handleDigest()’ emplea ’MessageDigest.getInstance(“MD5”)’ para aplicar hash a las credenciales. MD5 es un algoritmo criptográfico roto conocido por permitir colisiones de hash. Esto hace que el mecanismo de autenticación sea vulnerable a ataques de repetición, suplantación de identidad o fuerza bruta, lo que podría conducir a un acceso no autorizado. La vulnerabilidad corresponde a CWE-327 y se alinea con OWASP M5: Criptografía Insuficiente y MASVS MSTG-CRYPTO-4."
