CVE-2026-8803

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A flaw has been found in opensourcepos Open Source Point of Sale up to 3.4.2. Impacted is the function Login of the file app/Models/Employee.php of the component Employee Login. This manipulation causes use of weak hash. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is considered difficult. The actual existence of this vulnerability is currently in question. The vendor explains: "[T]he code is still there to allow the upgrade path to work. The default password is initially seeded with the old hash function, but then migrated to a newer one after login. [T]he hash version check might be cleaned up in the future. Currently it's not actively in use as any password change will use a newer hash function."

Se ve afectada la función Login del archivo app/Models/Employee.PHP del componente Employee Login. Esta manipulación provoca el uso de un hash débil. La explotación remota del ataque es posible. Se considera que el ataque tiene una complejidad alta. La explotabilidad se considera difícil. La existencia real de esta vulnerabilidad está actualmente en cuestión. El proveedor explica: ’El código sigue ahí para permitir que la ruta de actualización funcione. La contraseña predeterminada se inicializa con la función de hash antigua, pero luego se migra a una más nueva después del inicio de sesión. La verificación de la versión del hash podría limpiarse en el futuro. Actualmente no está en uso activo, ya que cualquier cambio de contraseña utilizará una función de hash más nueva.’"
