CVE-2021-39182

Insecure digest generation via MD5 helper

Published Nov 8, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Weak hashing in Morgan-Phoenix EnroCrypt before 1.1.4 allows attackers to generate insecure MD5 digests through its hashing API. The MD5 method in enrocrypt/hashing.py passes caller-supplied text to hashlib.md5, converts the digest to a string, and salts that result. Affected applications must invoke this helper; the upstream advisory identifies no bundled network service and does not specify how consuming applications store or expose the resulting hashes.
