GHSA-MPP2-X7WV-38HV
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-02 19:52 – Updated: 2026-03-02 19:52Summary
Shared view passwords were stored in plaintext in the database and compared using direct string equality.
Details
The password column in nc_views stored unhashed passwords. Verification used !== comparison across public-datas.service.ts, public-metas.service.ts, and calendar-datas.service.ts.
Impact
If the database is compromised, shared view passwords are immediately readable. Risk is limited to password reuse scenarios.
Credit

It uses a default secret, which is stored in plain-text format in one of the configuration template files. This issue may lead to all instances of Quay deployed using mirror-registry to have the same secret key. This flaw allows a malicious actor to craft session cookies and as a consequence, it may lead to gaining access to the affected Quay instance.

An attacker with physical access could exploit this by identifying UART pins and accessing the root shell on the vulnerable system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to access the sensitive information on the targeted system.This vulnerability exists in Digisol Router (DG-GR1321: Hardware version 3.7L; Firmware version : v3.2.02) due to lack of encryption or hashing in storing of passwords within the router's firmware/ database. An attacker with physical access could exploit this by extracting the firmware and reverse engineer the binary data to access the plaintext passwords on the vulnerable system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the targeted system.

Mitigation
Avoid storing passwords in easily accessible locations.
Mitigation
Consider storing cryptographic hashes of passwords as an alternative to storing in plaintext.
Mitigation
A programmer might attempt to remedy the password management problem by obscuring the password with an encoding function, such as base 64 encoding, but this effort does not adequately protect the password because the encoding can be detected and decoded easily.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
