CVE-2026-110104: Xxyopen novel weak password hashing vulnerability

CVE-2026-110104 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.9 · Published 2026-10-13

Xxyopen novel is a web application framework for managing online content libraries. The application stores user passwords using weak, unsalted MD5 hashing, allowing attackers who gain access to the password database through a breach or backup exposure to rapidly crack passwords using precomputed tables or GPU acceleration. Compromised credentials can then be reused to access user accounts and impersonate legitimate users.

Technologies: Xxyopen Novel. Vendors: Xxyopen.

Technical details

The UserServiceImpl.register() method hashes passwords with MD5 and no salt (setting salt to "0"), making them vulnerable to dictionary and rainbow table attacks. An attacker with database access can offline-crack the MD5 hashes to recover plaintext passwords, requiring only local access to the compromised database. A fix using bcrypt was committed in the referenced GitHub repository, replacing unsalted MD5 with proper password hashing.
