Weak Password Hashing in Omada Devices

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a cryptographic weakness in Omada devices where site credentials are protected using an outdated hashing algorithm. This makes it easier for attackers to recover valid credentials if they gain access to stored credential data, potentially allowing unauthorized access to devices or management environments.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves weak cryptographic hashing of site credentials on Omada devices. Detection requires checking stored credential files or configurations for the use of legacy hashing algorithms. Review device logs and configuration files for signs of exposed or weakly hashed credentials. No specific commands are provided in the available context.
