DescriptionNVD
Use of a weak password encoding algorithm in STER software allows the value of the password to be guessed after analyzing how passwords with known values are encoded.
This issue was fixed in version 9.5.
AnalysisAI
Weak password encoding in STER (all versions before 9.5) exposes stored credentials to local reverse-engineering by any low-privileged user on the system. The root cause (CWE-261) is use of a reversible or insufficiently one-way encoding scheme rather than a cryptographically strong hashing algorithm, enabling an attacker who can observe encoded password data to deduce plaintext values by analyzing patterns across known-value samples. …
