QloApps passwords can be cracked using weak MD5

CVE-2026-25861 · published 5 months ago
Summary

QloApps version 1.7.0 stores passwords with the outdated MD5 algorithm, making them easy to break with simple offline guessing. This is especially risky because the system also creates short, auto‑generated passwords for new customers. Update to the latest version or replace the password handling with a stronger method as soon as possible.

Original advisory text
QloApps 1.7.0 Weak Password Hashing via MD5 in Tools.php
QloApps through 1.7.0, fixed in commit 64e9722, contains a weak cryptographic algorithm vulnerability that allows attackers to compromise user credentials by exploiting the use of MD5 for password hashing in the Tools::encrypt() function within classes/Tools.php, which concatenates a static cookie key with the supplied password. Attackers can perform offline brute-force attacks against the MD5 hashes, with the risk compounded by auto-generated 8-character passwords assigned during guest-to-customer account conversion in classes/Customer.php, making credential recovery trivial.
