Summary
Redeight CMS version 1.0 uses the MD5 algorithm without a salt to store user passwords. Because MD5 is a cryptographically broken algorithm and lacks salting, attackers who obtain the password hashes can trivially reverse them using rainbow tables, leading to the exposure of plaintext credentials.
