CVE-2026-46749

Weak Password Hashing with Static Salt in Siemens SINEC INS

Published Jun 9, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 6). The affected application uses a password hashing implementation with a static, hardcoded salt shared across all users and installations, and is configured with an insufficient number of iterations. This could allow an attacker to efficiently recover user passwords using brute-force or precomputed attacks, potentially resulting in unauthorized access.
