Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort in Apache Derby

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 2, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Sep 26, 2023

Package

maven org.apache.derby:derby (Maven)

Affected versions

<= 10.5.3.01

Patched versions

10.6.1.0

Description

The password hash generation algorithm in the BUILTIN authentication functionality for Apache Derby before 10.6.1.0 performs a transformation that reduces the size of the set of inputs to SHA-1, which produces a small search space that makes it easier for local and possibly remote attackers to crack passwords by generating hash collisions, related to password substitution.
