Summary
A vulnerability has been identified in Altair Grid Engine (All versions < V2026.0.0). Affected products do not properly handle error messages and discloses sensitive password hash information when processing user authentication requests.
This could allow a local attacker to extract password hashes for privileged accounts, which can then be subjected to offline brute-force attacks.
