FTP account access via weak password hashing
Published Jun 12, 2025 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
Weak password hashing in SICK Media Server 1.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to crack hashes and access FTP accounts. The vendor identifies the FTP password-hash operation as the locus but does not disclose the hash algorithm, storage path, or processing function. Network exploitation requires low-privileged access and possession of a password hash; the reported consequence is FTP account access and confidentiality loss.
