While storing password hashes instead of cleartext passwords in an application's database generally has become best practice to protect users' passwords in case of a database compromise, this is rendered ineffective when allowing to authenticate using the password hash.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-916"],"references":["https://www.redteam-pentesting.de/en/advisories/-advisories-publicised-vulnerability-analyses","https://www.redteam-pentesting.de/en/advisories/rt-sa-2022-004/-starface-authentication-with-password-hash-possible","https://www.redteam-pentesting.de/en/advisories/-advisories-publicised-vulnerability-analyses","https://www.redteam-pentesting.de/en/advisories/rt-sa-2022-004/-starface-authentication-with-password-hash-possible"],"products":["starface:starface"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:38:24.161619714+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-33243","score":0.04421,"percentile":0.91358,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
