03 Exploitation and scoring
SRC: CISA, FIRST, NVD, RED HAT- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.- EPSS probability
- 0.22% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Ranks above 12.3% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 5.9 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector

- Analyzed. NVD last modified this record on 2026-06-17.
- 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.

To address this vulnerability, it is imperative that the Bludit development team transitions to a more secure and intentionally slow hashing algorithm, such as bcrypt or Argon2, for password storage. These algorithms introduce the necessary computational overhead to resist brute-force attacks effectively. In addition, it is advised that appropriate cost factors are used.
Furthermore, the generation of password salts should be revamped to employ a cryptographically secure method. The current approach, utilizing the `Text::randomText function`, should be replaced with a robust random number generator provided by the operating system or a dedicated cryptographic library. This change ensures the creation of unpredictable and secure salts, enhancing the overall resilience of the password storage mechanism.
