CVE-2022-37164
CWE-287Published: September 8, 2022· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
Inoda OnTrack v3.4 employs a weak password policy which allows attackers to potentially gain unauthorized access to the application via brute-force attacks. Additionally, user passwords are hashed without a salt or pepper making it much easier for tools like hashcat to crack the hashes.
Risk Analysis
Inoda OnTrack uses weak password policies and unsalted, unpeppered password hashing. This makes the application highly susceptible to brute-force and offline cracking attacks.
No public exploit is known and it is not in the CISA KEV. It is remotely exploitable.
Implement stronger password policies and ensure password storage uses modern, salted hashing algorithms.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-37164 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
