BaseFortify

Publication date: 2025-09-03

Last updated on: 2025-09-08

Assigner: MITRE

Description
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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists because the Corona Virus Tracker App India 1.0 uses the MD5 cryptographic algorithm for digest authentication, which is broken and susceptible to hash collisions. Specifically, the app's handleDigest() function uses MD5 to hash credentials, making the authentication process vulnerable to replay, spoofing, or brute-force attacks. This means attackers could potentially gain unauthorized access by exploiting weaknesses in MD5.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the application by allowing attackers to bypass authentication through replay, spoofing, or brute-force attacks. This compromises the security of user data and the integrity of the application, potentially exposing sensitive information or allowing malicious actions within the app.
