A vulnerability was found in shsuishang ShopSuite ModulithShop up to 45a99398cec3b7ad7ff9383694f0b53339f2d35a. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component RSA/OAuth2/Database. The manipulation results in hard-coded credentials. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product implements a rolling release for ongoing delivery, which means version information for affected or updated releases is unavailable.
Weakness
The product contains a hard-coded password, which it uses for its own inbound authentication or for outbound communication to external components.
Extended Description
There are two main variations of a hard-coded password:
Potential Mitigations
- For inbound authentication: apply strong one-way hashes to your passwords and store those hashes in a configuration file or database with appropriate access control. That way, theft of the file/database still requires the attacker to try to crack the password. When receiving an incoming password during authentication, take the hash of the password and compare it to the hash that you have saved.
- Use randomly assigned salts for each separate hash that you generate. This increases the amount of computation that an attacker needs to conduct a brute-force attack, possibly limiting the effectiveness of the rainbow table method.
- For front-end to back-end connections: Three solutions are possible, although none are complete.
