CVE-2014-2354: Cogent DataHub Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort

Cogent DataHub before 7.3.5 does not use a salt during password hashing, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain cleartext passwords via a brute-force attack.

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cogent DataHub versions before 7.3.5 stored password hashes without a salt. If an attacker already has the right local and authenticated access context, the weak hashing can make password recovery easier, creating credential theft and reuse risk. Exposure is limited to environments running Cogent DataHub before 7.3.5. Risk is higher where DataHub credentials are reused across systems or where local/authenticated access to password material is possible. The provided sources do not identify other affected products. Treat as a credential-protection issue for legacy industrial data environments. It is not cited as actively exploited, but weak password hashing can turn limited access into broader business risk if passwords are recovered and reused. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cogent DataHub installations and identify versions before 7.3.5.; Check Cogent and CISA guidance before applying remediation in production.; Upgrade affected DataHub deployments to 7.3.5 or later where supported..
