CVE-2006-4068 Information

Description

The pswd.js script relies on the client to calculate whether a username and password match hard-coded hashed values for a server and uses a hashing scheme that creates a large number of collisions which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct offline brute force attacks. NOTE: this script might also allow attackers to generate the server-side \secret\ URL without determining the original password but this possibility was not discussed by the original researcher.
