CVE-2012-2743
Revelation 0.4.13-2 and earlier does not iterate through SHA hashing algorithms for AES encryption, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to guess passwords via a brute force attack.
02 Description
Revelation 0.4.13-2 and earlier does not iterate through SHA hashing algorithms for AES encryption, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to guess passwords via a brute force attack.
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Not assessed. CISA has not published an exploitation assessment for this record, and it is not in the KEV catalog. That is an absence of assessment, not a finding of no risk.
- SSVC decision
- Not assessed by CISA
- EPSS probability
- 1.12% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 66.0% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- The NVD has published no score for this record
- NVD CVSS vector
- No NVD score to derive
- NVD analysis status
- Modified. NVD last modified this record on 2026-06-16.
- Red Hat severity
- No Red Hat rating. Red Hat rates the CVEs that affect its products.
Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.
