Password cracking via unauthenticated hash oracle
Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 20, 2026
Information exposure in WWBN AVideo before 26.0 allows remote attackers to obtain password hashes for arbitrary inputs without authentication. The encryptPass.json.php endpoint reads the pass request parameter and returns encryptPassword() output generated by the default unsalted SHA-1, Whirlpool, and MD5 chain. The oracle accelerates password cracking, but exploitation of stored credentials requires database hashes obtained separately.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
