GHSA-WFFJ-85J3-X844

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-03 15:30 – Updated: 2025-09-08 18:31

Details

The SourceCodester Android application "Corona Virus Tracker App India" 1.0 uses MD5 for digest authentication in OkHttpClientWrapper.java. The handleDigest() function employs MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5") to hash credentials. MD5 is a broken cryptographic algorithm known to allow hash collisions. This makes the authentication mechanism vulnerable to replay, spoofing, or brute-force attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized access. The vulnerability corresponds to CWE-327 and aligns with OWASP M5: Insufficient Cryptography and MASVS MSTG-CRYPTO-4.

Severity ?

4.2 (Medium)
