Descripción técnica

VeraCrypt provides disk encryption with strong security based on TrueCrypt. Prior to 1.26.29, non-default builds created with WOLFCRYPT=1 and WOLFCRYPT_BACKEND route SHA-256 and SHA-512 volume-header key derivation through derive_key_sha256 and derive_key_sha512 in src/Crypto/wolfCrypt.c, where the configured iterations value is discarded and wc_HKDF is used instead of PBKDF2-HMAC. Changing the PIM or iteration count therefore does not increase derivation cost, allowing an attacker with an affected container, disk image, or volume header to perform substantially cheaper offline password guesses. Official precompiled VeraCrypt binaries and normal distribution packages use the standard PBKDF2 backend and are not affected. Volumes created by an affected WOLFCRYPT=1 build require backup and recreation because corrected builds derive different keys. This issue is fixed in version 1.26.29.

CVE-2026-75112—

1.7%

——1A security issue exists within OTTO® Fleet Manager. The vulnerability stems from the use of an insufficient work factor in the bcrypt password hashing implementation, which could reduce the computational cost required for an attacker to perform offline brute-force attacks against stored password hashes. If an attacker gains access to an unencrypted system backup, the weakly hashed credentials could be more easily compromised.2d CVE-2026-748716.2 MED

0.7%

——0openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.6 contain a key derivation flaw in sequential XOR composition mode where the last stage cancels out during key generation. When configured with a single KDF and no prior hashing stage, attackers can bypass memory-hard key derivation and perform offline password cracking at SHA-256 speed instead of the configured KDF cost.4d CVE-2026-490052.4 BAJ

——1The root password hash of the device can be obtained through unencrypted information in the firmware.14d CVE-2026-57310—

——2Windu CMS uses hashing algorithm based on MD5 and SHA1 with static salt to store user passwords. This allows an attacker who obtain password hash to decode user credentials. Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version 4.1 but may also affect other versions.30d CVE-2026-50406.7 MED

0.6%

——0TP-Link Deco M5 v1 uses a weak password hashing mechanism to store user credentials. An attacker who obtains the password hash through system compromise or privileged access could perform brute-force or dictionary attacks. Successful exploitation may result in disclosure of authentication credentials, enabling unauthorized access to device management functions, depending on the privileges associated with the recovered password. The primary security impact is loss of confidentiality.15d CVE-2026-550698.7 ALT

——3Kestra is an open-source, event-driven orchestration platform. Prior to 1.3.24, this vulnerability exists in the BasicAuth authentication component of the Kestra OSS workflow orchestration platform. An attacker who gains read access to the PostgreSQL database can exploit SHA-512's high computation speed to recover the administrator password offline. In Kubernetes deployments, a successful crack further enables reading of the cluster ServiceAccount Token and all K8s Secrets, achieving vertical privilege escalation. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.24.52d
