Ilevia EVE X1/X5 Server 4.7.18.0.eden Insecure Hashing Algorithm
The application stores user passwords in the database using the MD5 hashing algorithm, which is considered cryptographically insecure due to its vulnerability to collision and brute-force attacks. MD5 lacks modern protections such as salting and computational hardness, making it trivial for attackers to crack password hashes using precomputed rainbow tables or GPU-accelerated dictionary attacks.
