Title
AutomationDirect CLICK Programmable Logic Controller Weak Encoding for Password
Summary
An attacker with access to the project file could use the exposed
credentials to impersonate users, escalate privileges, or gain
unauthorized access to systems and services. The absence of robust
encryption or secure handling mechanisms increases the likelihood of
this type of exploitation, leaving sensitive information more
vulnerable.

Mitigation
Phases:
Description:
- Passwords should be encrypted with keys that are at least 128 bits in length for adequate security.
CAPEC-55: Rainbow Table Password Cracking
An attacker gets access to the database table where hashes of passwords are stored. They then use a rainbow table of pre-computed hash chains to attempt to look up the original password. Once the original password corresponding to the hash is obtained, the attacker uses the original password to gain access to the system.
