CVE-2023-33243
Last modified
CVE-2023-33243 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. RedTeam Pentesting discovered that the web interface of STARFACE as well as its REST API allows authentication using the SHA512 hash of the password instead of the cleartext password. While storing password hashes instead of cleartext passwords in an application's database generally has become best practice to protect users' passwords in case of a database compromise, this is rendered ineffective when allowing to authenticate using the password hash.. EPSS estimates a 4.42% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
