CVE-2026-46749
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 6). The affected application uses a password hashing implementation with a static, hardcoded salt shared across all users and installations, and is configured with an insufficient number of iterations. This could allow an attacker to efficiently recover user passwords using brute-force or precomputed attacks, potentially resulting in unauthorized access.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad ha sido identificada en SINEC INS (Todas las versiones anteriores a V1.0 SP2 Update 6). La aplicación afectada utiliza una implementación de hash de contraseñas con un salt estático y codificado de forma rígida, compartido entre todos los usuarios e instalaciones, y está configurada con un número insuficiente de iteraciones. Esto podría permitir a un atacante recuperar eficientemente las contraseñas de los usuarios utilizando ataques de fuerza bruta o precalculados, lo que podría resultar en acceso no autorizado."
