An issue was discovered in New Media Smarty before 9.10. Passwords are stored in the database in an obfuscated format that can be easily reversed. The file data.mdb contains these obfuscated passwords in the second column. NOTE: this is unrelated to the popular Smarty template engine product.

Weakness

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
