Password disclosure via cleartext database storage
Published Aug 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Cleartext password storage in SourceCodester Guest Management System allows remote authenticated users to read stored passwords. The CNA identifies an unknown function and does not disclose the code path or database operation that stores passwords without cryptographic protection. Exploitation requires low-privileged network access; the documented consequence is password confidentiality loss, not data alteration or service interruption.
