## Technical details

The vulnerability is a cleartext storage issue (CWE-312) in the application/models/admin/Login_Model.php file of PHPGurukul Blood Donor Management System version 1.0. Passwords, email addresses, and other authentication parameters are stored in plaintext rather than being properly hashed. The attack requires local or adjacent network access to the affected file system or database. An attacker who gains access can directly read plaintext credentials and achieve administrative authentication without needing to crack password hashes. Public exploits are available, and the issue also involves the use of weak MD5 hashing in certain contexts.
